I have a 270 and shoot 140 AB's at 3000. If I went to ELD's I would get 3100 so I dont know if there is enough gain. I like the 6.5 Saum ballistics with 140's at 3200.
But how far do I need to shoot ? Went on an overnight scouting mission yesterday and saw so many deer I didn't know which one to shoot, all DOC. Sixteen in one little gully, I crept to within 80 metres of them, two spikers got to 40 metres from them. Saw four at 600 ish but could have got within 200 in ten minutes- if you shoot them you have to go over there so might as well go some of the way before shooting. Spooked two at 20 metres while looking at flowers and they were the only ones that I would not have been able to shoot. I think a light little 6.5x47 would be the go !
