[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 2025406, member: 55944"] I’d grab the 270 for hunting and the 6.5 for plinking. I don’t think the 143 eldx is well suited to the 6.5 creedmoor velocity. In my experience, detailed in a few other threads, the 6.5 creedmoor is not an emphatic killer. The 270 on the other hand is an emphatic killing cartridge. There is something magical about the 270, that I can’t explain but every time I shoot an animal with one they just drop. I have actually shot more deer and antelope with the 6.5 creedmoor but in my experience it is not as effective on game as the 270. [/QUOTE]
