[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 1018178, member: 10582"] I have killed a lot of elk with the 308 tsx with 150 3000fps MV and 168 tsx at 2850fps MV a couple of cow elk out to over 500 yards. I tried the 150ttsx and they did not shoot as well in my rifle. I played with Nosler accubonds 168 and was not impressed. I had the rifle rebarreled by a clown and it shoots slow and bad! So I went a couple years with a 300wm 168 tsx, 200AB, 215 berger and this year with a 6.5-06 improved 160 Matrix at 2930mv. I am going back to Barnes bullets for sure but I have hundreds of 215 Bergers that I will play with in my 308. The 215 berger was a magic bullet to me, out of my 300wm and 300 ultra, but a muzzle break makes me flinch and my horse now runs 75 yards when I shoot! 150 and 168 tsx out of my 308 win typically always shoot all the way through a cow and bull elk chest with a nice exit wound. I am of the big exit wound to the chest means an animal unable to breath school. If a guy does find a barnes bullet it weighs close to 100% of bullet weight when it stops and penetrates like crazy! My dad shoots a couple of cow elk every year with a 270 130tsx always shoots all the way through the chest. This year he tried the 129lrx they shot great! And worked to his expectations. One cow elk was 480ish yards shoot through! Ps I also have a 375 h&h and it only goes on buffalo hunts [/QUOTE]
