Any info you can share about experiences to sway me one way or another? This will be solely a hunting rifle and not for LR shooting. The glass will be Swavorski 3x10x50.

.280 simple for the fact you get more bullet choices at heavier weights.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

.257 Roberts is a deer caliber out to 300 yards. After 300 yards energy really drops off. Hunted with one for well over 20 years and is my favorite deer caliber. Light recoil makes a great gun to share with smaller shooters as well.
257roberts bc its way cooler than the ackley (and who the fuck wants to shoot a stupid deer at 350 yards?)
and gbelly has one. and I think Duckman??
anyway, its just cooler.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Add me to the 257 Roberts cult. Great cartridge..

Just Damn.
280
Both. Need an action?
Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.
Straight .280, more bullet choice than any other caliber. Load down to 7 X 57 or up close to 7RM.
dont listen to these people. you can only shoot one bullet at a time, no matter how many you got.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I love my .257 Roberts. Been shooting it for about 40 years.

Regardless of which caliber I wont be shooting past 250 yards or so...
Split the difference and go 257 Roberts Improved (if you handload).
Otherwise... 257 is all you need if you are shooting at average SC deer hunting distances.

Why not go with a .280 lite, a 7mm08?
