[QUOTE="Montucky Roamer, post: 1933286, member: 100692"] Maybe it's been mentioned but I'd definitely go with whichever rifle is a more natural pointing gun for you. Not necessarily the lightest, just the sweetest balance and quickest to shoot accurately enough. A lot of whitetail shots are fleeting moments and a rifle that feels like an extension of yourself is critical. Especially if your tracking them for hours and finally catch him, chasing a doe, fleeting glimpses thru the timber , light is low and grey..you get the idea...low power scopes are your friend in these scenarios also. Cartridge? Yes. A handful please. The eldx should be fine but it's a long range specialist. Nothing wrong with an accubond or partition or core lokt or hammer. I've had Barnes work fine on a handful of deer from a 270. Just a harder bullet than I usually prefer now tho. [/QUOTE]
