My go to elk and deer rifles ( I have two)are chambered in .280AI and I have killed more than just a few animals with them. I have mostly used the 160gr NP with great results. However, I have used the 150gr. NBT some on deer (to 400yards)and to hammer steel out to 700yds. and I like it a lot. It has been very accurate out of both my rifles. Another bullet I like is the plain old Hornady 162gr.BTSP. I should point out that I've not killed any deer or elk much past 400yards., so my knowledge about range performance on game is limited.
