All things .308 Win

[sierracharlie338]

For those hunting with .308 Win match bullets like the ELDMs and TMKs — are these bullets leaving massive holes, or does the relatively low speeds limit the damage? I’ve seen some gnarly pics on this site where is looks like a deer got hit with a cannon, and I think some of those were coming from .30 cals, but I also see people recommending the 168 ELDM as a good killing bullet with no reservations.

As previously stated it depends on what it hits but IME unless you hit leg bone, exits are generally golf ball size to maybe a tad smaller that obviously depends on serval other factors as well.

The EldMs have been stellar for me for many years now.

After getting a barrel threaded I thought I would have some more to share but Murphy showed up tonight. Had the truck loaded to go to the farm and sight in and hit some steel but my battery decided to schidt the bed. I had just shut the truck off to load up. Oh well.

Here’s some ammo I was going to shoot this afternoon.


Well guess not. I’m in the middle of nowhere and photos aren’t syncing up. Guess I’ll dance to the photo god and post in a bit.

Never trust what’s in the box to be what’s on the outside of the box. At least at my house anyway.
