[QUOTE="LRMonkey, post: 1775456, member: 91044"] I have used Hornady factory .308 178gr ELD-X ammo for deer hunting. Rifle used is a Steyr Scout. Muzzle velocity almost 50 meters per second lower than factory given speed, i guess because of the 20 inch barrel. Shot about 2 dozen doe, spike bucks and calfs, distances 80-175 meters. The bullet does excellent work when shooting behind shoulder, lung shots, drop them right there. On shoulder shots that i’ve tried just for comparison, not that great reaction on adult animals, they usually run for 30-70 meters. Now i’ve got a custom build Tikka55 in 6.5CM, shoots one hole at 100 meters with Sako TRG match ammunition. Build with Lothar Walther barrel, GRS laminate stock, AseUtra SL5i silencer, Zeiss FL 4-16x50 scope. Shot a grouse at 224 meters last october with the Sako ammo. Going to load some ELD-X for that and try them on deer etc. next season. Can not get Hornady ELD-X factory ammo for it here in Finland. [/QUOTE]
