Not true at all. I personally witnessed the exact scenario go down. A friend of mine shot a buck with his 338win in the gut and we watched him empty the rest of his rifle at the deer while the deer stood next to a round bale. After about a half hour my phone rang, it was his wife saying he had ran out of bullets!
One shot with a 280 dropped the deer flat in his tracks. Undeniable proof the 280 is a better deer rifle than the 338win...... right?
