You will never be dissatisfied with the .280 Remington-no matter what anyone says about the .270 win, there is a better bullet selection for the 284 cal., can be loaded with 175gr or 160gr for a good elk cartidge, or a 100gr light varmit load, but my Rem mountain rifle spends most of the time with a 140 gr Barnes TSX at about 3000 fps. Very accurate, flat shooter and easy on the shoulder. There is not much "real world" difference between the .280 Rem and the 7 Rem mag. Good luck
