[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 2303207, member: 73428"] The 308 uses the 178 ELDx. Furthest terminal report we have used on that was a bull elk just under 600 yards. Impact velocity was in the low 1900 FPS. Jacket core seperated, however the lead trucked through both shoulder blades (and exited) with the jacket coming to rest on the far side hide. That Bull made it less then 40 yards and took a nice dirt nap. The only ELDm I really liked to hunt with was the 285 grain 338 flavor. That had enough mass to still shed alot of weight to create one heck of a wound channel. 140 & 147 ELDM just did not give predictable results for us on elk sized game. [USER=95344]@xsn10s[/USER] on real small framed deer we have had great luck with ELDM. [/QUOTE]
