One week till I leave to take my wife hunting, and I am getting cold feet on some of my decisions. I need some help. I have been letting my wife shoot my 280 useing a 140 BST, I am beggining to think that may be to light. I was considering going to a 150 core-lokt, or even bumping her up to the 30-06 with a 165 winchester high velocity BST.
I know the argument that if the shot is straight it doesn't matter, but if the shot is an inch off, what would you choose, the 280 or the 30-06? What load would you use, and why?
P.S. My wife is adaptive so switching rifles isn't that big of a deal. We will be going to the range 2 more times in the next week for her so We will have time to re-sight. The only concern is takedown....
Thanks,
Blair
