Lost my good sense and sent my smith a 28 reamer this afternoon I'm next on the list and was going 7mmRM. But a 180 ELD at 3100+ is a ballistics laser. Should be more fun than my edge in the wind.
I think you did the right thing!
Not relevant to the ELD 180, but the guy in the link below is getting over 3100 with the 195 VLD
28 Nosler with 195 VLDI took a low risk approach and snagged an off-the-shelf 28 Nosler to play with. I'm thinking the 180 ELD may be just right.
