I have been using my Remington Mdl. 725 in .280 Rem. for many, many years. Bought it new in 1962. Killed elk, deer, Black bear, and antelope. No problem whatsoever putting game on the ground.
I use 160 grains Nosler Partition in front of 54.0 grains of IMR 4350. That is very good elk medicine.
Good luck on your hunt.
