280 Remington & its ballistic twin, 308 Winchester. IF your 280 AINT any better than that, I'd get rid of it!

280 Remington & its ballistic twin, 308 Winchester. IF your 280 AINT any better than that, I'd get rid of it! Oh, it's a dream to carry. It is the most accurate long gun I own. It is also my favorite cartridge without doubt. But, I do still have a soft spot for the 308 since it's what I started with back in 1977.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

165,168 gr. usually BT's but not always. 70% 30-06,15 & 15% ,.308 or 300 win mag, Nothing lets the air out, bang flop, drop like a sack of feed like a good old 30 cal.

Most bang flops, My 22-250 using 60 grain Hornady sp's and hp's has only failed me one time. That was a 180 pound buck that made it 25 feet. This is generally my "doe rifle". I have great hopes for my new "doe rifle" using 70 gr. Ballistic Tips from a 243. Next up would have to be my 30-06 using the old 150 grain Speer Hotcors.

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Percentage wise, it would be the 30-06, because none have ever gone a step. Next would be the 300 Winmag, since only one has ever gone further than straight to the ground,, and it had no heart left. But my sample size is nit as large as some of you other guys. One deer a year is usually all I shoot -- sometimes two. I AM liking the 6.5 Swede though. That is likely going to become my new favourite. My experience exactly.
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

Have had more DRT's with my T/C pro Hunter 20 gauge and my reloaded
20 gauge slugs. The Hornady .452 FTX bullet is devastating.

Never had anything run after the .460 is fired.

The only elk i've seen drt[without a cns hit] was one i shot this year. 40 yards away and quartering away i hit him center of the second rib from the flank with a 250 gr berger 338. The bullet exited the sternum and it looked like a wrecking ball hit him. I have never seen an animal flung to the ground like that. He wasn't dead for a couple minutes but barely struggeled only once.
Deer have been 2out of 3 drt 270wsm with 130ttsx. 120 to 300yds.

This year two whitetail at 80 yards with 250A.I. It was like someone kicked their feet out from under them!! Oh they we're standing about 10 feet apart too.
