[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 1153769, member: 1007"] If Hornady's claim is true of the 208 ELDM being .67G1, it'll really shine. The 208AMAX in the 308 is already a proven combo. Using Hornady's original BC or Bryan's BC for the original AMAX was impressive. Using .67 is spectacular. Assuming the new value is valid. Comparing the 208 at 2600'sec against the 140VLD at 2950'sec, 5000' elevation, 59F, the 208 delivers over 200'/# more energy at a grand, and is within less than 3" of the 140 in a full value 10mph wind. It does have 55" more drop and noticeably more recoil. Again, those are the down sides. I will always stand by my statement that it boils down to which advantages means more to the individual trying to select his cartridge. [/QUOTE]
