[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2814968, member: 95344"] The 178 ELDM has a reputation of being too splashy/ explosive with impact velocities of 2300 fps and up. I shot a Texas Whitetail with a 20" 308 Win and a Nosler 168gr Ballistic Tip @ 60 yards on the should with no issues. Shot a Oregon Mule deer at 50 yards with my 30-06 and a 165 gr BT DRT on the shoulder. Both exited and I dug the 165 BT out of a dead tree behind the buck. Chub Eastman, Steve Timms, and Matt Smith pushed a 100-120 grain BT out of a 6.5-280 AI to take deer, elk and moose. [/QUOTE]
