[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2942194, member: 5352"] 6.8 Western! A big sweet spot for recoil and performance to me. Not as many bullets as 6.5/7mm but Plenty of great heavy 270 cal bullets these days. Hornady is really the only one not offering a heavy 277 and honestly from what I read the eldx is not a great heavy game bullet anyway. I will say the nos 165 ablr and sierra 175 tgk are stout enough to bust through large boar shoulders at close range high velocity impacts and barnes, hammer, cutting edge have nice heavy monos as well. Berger 170 eol also works great and bc is up there. Son just killed a nice buck with 170 btip and it performed great as well. I have had no issues accuracy wise with current Win brass though I did have to cull a few. Still considering 1/3 price ok with that. Just saw on 6.8W FB page somebody talked to Petersen and said possibly Dec next year as getting lot of requests so on list Lou [/QUOTE]
