i know the 308 is dead and can't hit anything beyond 800 yds and it kicks like a mule etc etc, and i'm gonna keep shooting mine
I've been pushing 178 ELDM's at about 2660 out of a 24" K&P barrel using varget and winchester brass
the win brass is on its last leg (7 firings) so I am taking this opportunity to switch to lapua brass. I am almost out of 178's to load as well, so its a good time to see if there is a better bullet.
i heard/read a thread about pushing 155's really fast and it sounds interesting, but i'll be using varget for now and my barrel is a little short for trying to chase speed really hard.
i'm partially interested in staying in the "tactical division" realm, not a requirement but i'd prefer to stay here even because it will keep me from chasing stupid speed and killing my brass early.
is the 168 ELDM a potentially better bullet? I figure I can get 2750 out of that, but the difference in wind/drop isn't all that much from what I can tell.
