280 rem ammo options

[xcaribooer]

I have purchased some 150gr ammo for my new 280rem but I see that is about as heavy as factory offerings go. What do other 280 owners use for moose/elk hunting in grizzly country? I see that 140gr seems to be "the fav bullet weight" in most articles.
I can see hand loading is the only real option for something heavier, I was thinking something like 165 or 175gr, any load ideas you want to share for these?
in the end I think I will end up with something 140gr for deer and sheep size game but I do want something heavier for the other stuff.

If your looking for a do all round check see if you can get somthing like a 140 grn tsx or 139 grn gmx . I'm gonna order some up to handload in my dads new 280 .

As far as factory offerings i don't think there is a wide variety

Federal Premium has a 150gr Nosler Partition load and a 140gr Barnes TSX

Remington produces 140, 150 & 165gr. loads. The 165gr. Is a soft point.
