[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 928694, member: 73428"] I can only speak of my own personal experience. however, i've harvested elk with 3 different cartridges. Ruger 280....140 grain bullets. Remington 700 30-06 180 grain bullets. and my latest browning a bolt 300 win mag 180 grain bullets. The 280 had no problems taking elk out to 300 yards, most were dead right there, only one ran less then 50 yards and expired. Case in point, i enjoyed the 280 for the light recoil, but in the end, i like the added velocity and energy the 300 provides. [/QUOTE]
