Grayghost, my ammo performed great with my 280 rem.. I shot most with 162gr. Hornady BTSP. I shot one springbuck at 360 meters moving. I also shot a kudu offhand running. All game never got more than 35 yards or more after I shot them. I shot a macehog(sp?) which is a little weasle type of creature that is very small. It hit him behind the front shoulder. His front leg was hanging by 1/4" of skin and the thorax was completely gone. His guts were hanging out of the hole where his lungs once occupied. He ran 25 yds before collapsing. I thought I had missed. He ran off and I thought he had gone down a hole but he just had fallen. Several hours later someone found him and said I didn't miss after all. I could not believe that he ran so far. He is tougher than any of the big game I shot. I had lung shots on most of the game and the kudu and gemsbox ran the fartherest after being shot, no more than 35 yards. They were quartering away and the lung shots were also heart shots or clost to it. The black wildebeast dropped like a rock with a shoulder/neck shot.
