I've used the .280 Ackley to kill many hundreds of head of American big game. Frankly, I've never personally seen any use for bullets that weigh over 150-grains. Mostly, I've used 140-grain bullets and have found them quite deadly up to and including moose.

Guess it just comes down to what you like and what you experience while afield.
