[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1762383, member: 93895"] I'm not sure that I would consider that an undesirable result from a 308 175 gr bullet. Higher inpact velocity aids in instant kills but I wouldn't trade off that load you have for a 150gr if the 175 shoots good. I would try a heart/lung pass through with that load before you write it off. It passed the test of going through the toughest part of the animal with great success in my opinion. Heart/lung shot through vitals of the softest part of the animal will let you know if the round is going to give the all around performance you are looking for. But my answer is that it done well so far. All around reliability is more important than instant kills. [/QUOTE]
