[QUOTE="MkJose, post: 1627931, member: 107218"] I've done a good deal of shooting and hunting with the 6.5, the 7-08 and .308. Enough at this point that I believe the results are practically indistinguishable in the field until you get to the edges of their capability. At typical deer hunting ranges, there's not enough difference to worry over. Close range performance is more a matter of bullet selection than cartridge. The ELDX is somewhat softer than an AB, but since you're talking basically a deer rifle- it's likely moot. Both cartridges have enough industry support that essentially any bullet you could ever want or need is loaded by someone. I'd pick the one you like the most and roll with it. [/QUOTE]
