[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 1831698, member: 3056"] I went through a similar adventure this fall getting ready for an elk hunt. I wound up settling on the 200 ELD-X using H4831SC due to incredible accuracy averaging just over 3000fps. The 215 Berger was also an option but in the limited time I had, the 200 ELD-X gave much lower ES and SD's. The important part is that I was fortunate enough to shoot a mature 5x6 elk the first day and he went down as if struck by lightening! The shot was (going from memory) 400-410yds caliber size entry with no exit. I'm not going to be one of those guys who complains about no exit wound on my very dead elk! In terms of meat damage between the 178 and the 200, its likely to be negligible with other factors such as striking bone, distance, and the particular position of the animal being more influential than a difference of 22 grains of bullet between the two.
