280 Remington Ammo

They’re ideal for hunting foxes. On the other hand, 140 to 150-grain bullets are suitable for any medium-sized game. The 140 – 150-grain bullets can usually travel 3000 fps. However, for target shooting, it is best to go for the 168-grain bullets are ideal. The best for big games and at long range is the 175-grain bullets. The 160-grain options offer a muzzle velocity of 2900 fps.
The .280 Remington Ammo is versatile as you can use it for both medium and large games. When used in moderate ranges, the 140-150 grain loads can produce a broad wound and a deep penetration. However, when the range begins to exceed 250 yards, kills can become slower as well. To use for long ranges, it is best to go for soft 162-grain bullets. They provide violent wounding even when 700 yards away and more. The varying projectiles ensure efficient hunting of different games, from woodchucks to brown bears. It’s also an excellent choice for mule deer, pronghorns, whitetails, elk, and sheep.
