I do find it interesting how quick people are to bag out a creedmoor but will stand by a .270 as being a great "stop anything in its tracks" cartridge. Not having a go at the old .270 by any means...

Agreed, even though i have successfully shot deer at over 500m with my creedmoor, i certainly wouldnt recommend it, just because it can doesnt mean its a good idea or the right tool for the job. ...

52.5gr should be a pretty safe starting point

A loss of 200fps going from 24" to 20" doesnt add up with the .308, you should theoretically have lost around 100-120fps at most. My suggestion would be that theres an error somewhere with either...

1:9 will probably stabilise a 73gr ELDM or 77gr TMK just fine too. 2206h works really well and shouldnt be too hard to find. CFE223 & RL15 are also good options & both in stock at reloaders in...
