Purchased one of the All Weather (stainless/synthetic) Ruger Hawkeye .280 Rem rifles in 2014. Love the rifle.

I currently load 140g bullets for it at a sedate 2900+ fps. No need to go faster as I have my 7mm RM for that. I'm tempted to use the 155g Federal Terminal Ascent with its claimed .586 B.C.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
