I thank you all for the comments. When I started this I was hoping it did not become a "Which one is better?" but hey we all like to defend our favorites.
I'm looking foward to run the gun through its paces and starting with loads in the 120-150 range.
When I picked the 280, it was a tough choice between it and the 25-06, and yes the 270 was out from the start, like I said earlier, trying to be different. By the sounds of it it looks like I made a good choice
Dude, you never mentioned that a 25-06 was an option! It beats ALL the others hands down as a deer cartridge!
