    I brought into all the Hype and got a Custom built 6.5Saum, deer are not any deader nor in danger further away. Always used Accubonds (and Partitions) and...........dead deer. Then I got carried away with those high BC projectiles like ELD-X
    Have had to chase a lot more wounded ones since and currently switching back to accubonds. Still shot them at similar ranges (200m or less), last animal was 90m (small pig) blew a softball size piece of front shoulder and it ran away took a bit of finding again.

    Would have been better looking back with a factory stock 6.5PRC, 308 or 30/06 or 270 and more $$ left in my pocket. The whole exercise was really a complete disappointment for various reasons.
