100 odd fps.

Debatable. May be more may be less but the deer wont be any more alive because of it.

That's why I said "100 odd". Depends on a lot of things.
You're right about the deer. I'm sure they won't notice the difference.

I agree but at least we can still shoot 140 - 150 grain bullets and that is what I have started shooting out of my 270 is 140 grain hollow points, so I just sit here quietly lusting after a 280

Just tell them it"s a 7.06 x 64.

Go for a 7x64, virtually the same thing but you get to say "Brenneke" when you talk about it, which is far more interesting than Remington!
