Excuse me if I’ve already posted this but a 178 ELDX smacks the living poo out of a steel plate down range.

Those are what my Sig Cross prefers, and seem to always be on sale at my LGS for under $30 a box. Getting MV of a little over 2450fps with its 16” barrel and Banish 46 can, and comps out to a little over 1600fps / 1000ft-lbs at 600 yards. Both conveniently are the general minimums for velocity for ELDX bullets, and energy for medium sized game (my 7PRC does my big game work unless on Kodiak, then its 338). So is nice to know my general comfortable hunting range is within the rifle / cartridge / bullet’s effective range.Excuse me if I’ve already posted this but a 178 ELDX smacks the living poo out of a steel plate down range.
Love that bullet... but I have one rifle that apparently does not. Getting diagonal stringing with factory 178 ELD-X.Excuse me if I’ve already posted this but a 178 ELDX smacks the living poo out of a steel plate down range.
What do the 155s do? Mushroom, peel pedals, pedals come off?155gr Scenar is the answer.
Haven’t caught one! There is a 100-pages on 24-hour campfire is why i tried them. They are accurate and kill great. They do a lot in .308What do the 155s do? Mushroom, peel pedals, pedals come off?
I've yet to see a .308 that shoots the Superformance well.Anyone have any experience with the 168 ELDM Superperformance? My Sig Cross preferred the 178 ELDX's compared to the white box 168 ELDM's, black box 168 AMAX, and 150 SST Superperformacne. But the 168 ELDM Superperformance were on sale at the LGS earlier this week for $24 a box, so bought the last 5 boxes left and hoping for the best. The extra 140fps over the white box ELDM sure would be nice, as well as extend the 1800fps impact velocity another 100yds past the 178 ELDX.
Mine did 2520 average with them. Not fast by any means but they shot goodDoes anyone have velocities on factory 175 terminal accent? box says 2600 out of a 24-inch test barrel. I am shooting out of a 22" barrel with a silencer co scythe ti. I am guessing in the 2560 range.
out of what length barrel?Mine did 2520 average with them. Not fast by any means but they shot good
22 inchout of what length barrel?

I didn't check multiple boxes since they are spendy but thats a good pointTotally anecdotal, but in a similar set up (22in tikka with a SiCo Omega 300) shooting 175 Federal Gold Medal Match that also bas a box MV of 2600 has for me been 2550 in one lot and 2605 in another
I agree with this..☝..great comparison!I like the 308 for what it is. I like other cartridges better, but the 308 is like a basic 4WD F150. It does most things a truck needs to do good enough without much fuss.
Thanks of the info. Looks like its time for me to buy a crono and hand loadTotally anecdotal, but in a similar set up (22in tikka with a SiCo Omega 300) shooting 175 Federal Gold Medal Match that also bas a box MV of 2600 has for me been 2550 in one lot and 2605 in another
