I used this load extensively on Mule Deer this past season, and it dropped the three deer I took as if they were hit by lightning. I had a chance to make a Caribou hunt and was able to make it. I had always wanted to use my .280 Rem on Caribou, and could have not been more pleased. I took a nice heavy bodied bull at around 165-170 yards, and the 139 grain Hornady load performed about the same as it had on Mule deer. He was lacking in the palm area a bit, but still a rather heavy bodied bull that supplied some excellent table fare. He required one high lung shot, it took out the chest cavity, and there was certainly some shock trauma to the spine. Although only a 139 grain bullet, it still had the velocity, and power to pass completely through the big fella, always a plus in my book.
Simply stated this is one of the finest factory loads shot through my .280, and Hornady truly outdid themselves on this one. -
