I admit to not owning a .280 but I do have a 7-08 and I did live in Texas for 3 years. FWIW - I can't think of anything that walks in TX I'd not shot with a 7-08 and a 120/140 TTSX that I would shoot with a 280 with a 120/140 TTSX (insert favorite bullet).
Comes down to the rifle, not the headstamp for me.
Actually - what wouldn't you shoot in any state with a 7-08 and a 140 TTSX? Griz? Muskox? Bison? - bout it I'd think.
