[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1479758, member: 99718"] I have not tried the ELD-M , but I think I could extend my range with the available clicks on my scope if I did like you went to the 200 + grain bullets. I set my scope to be on at 300 yards with nearly all of my clicks left for down range and my 308 Norma has a Douglas barrel that is 1&1/8th inch dia. not the heaviest barrel but holds a 2&1/2 inch group at 300 yards with the 178 AMAX. I have hit oak leaves laying on the snow at 1300 yards on the second shot, the first being low 6" and left 6" I could probably improve but am satisfied with the way it shots now. I only hunt occasionally long range the later part of the season if I haven't filled my tag yet. And what I was getting at about the Doppler was that they could still be as you said Nosler has done, inflate the numbers perhaps they are right, but by my observations of them NOT shooting better in my guns as the AMAX, tends to make me wonder! I also think it is a B.S statement about the tips melting, I have as others recovered bullet fragments, including the poly tip and never saw the slightest sign of any melting ! This also makes me wonder about the whole ELD bullet scenario ! [/QUOTE]
