Your profile says you’re in Georgia. I’d recommend a .270 for your smaller East Coast deer. You’re not going after the heavy Muley’s at 300+ yards, are you? Why tear up so much meat by using the heavy .308 bullets?
p.s. I can pick up a used .270 here with a decent BassPro/Cabellas scope for about $375 private sale. might do that or might not. thanks for your counsel and guidance.

I can pick up a used .270 here with a decent BassPro/Cabellas scope for about $375 private sale- folks leaving the sport or needing cash. all above board, no shaky deals. might do that or might not, but after my .308 is ready-and I am competent with it. a number of my GA deer hunting friends shhot a .270. thanks for your counsel and guidance.
