Working up a load for the 308 and while the 168 ELD-M is the likely option, the 174 VTs step up in BC is tempting. Ran a ladder today and the 168 and 174 are running at the same velocities over the chronograph with no visible pressure signs (matches Hornady book data).
Anyone shot anything with them? I am curious if they are too soft/explosive even at short 308 speeds.
Did hornady not talk about them in their recent podcast , where they have loaded them in 300 prc and basically dropped everything in their track?
@Friwi got an episode number? Would be interested to listen to it.
I can only remember/find mention of shooting gel blocks and coyotes on ep 203.
Great Bc for weight -- tryed & tried & tried for accuracy with 223 version,would have to hope the 30 cal is an improvement.
I think that is the one. They did not elaborate on too much on it but you could listen to their hint about them having shot animals with them.Quote:

IIRC the animal actually ran a ways which was incredible when you see the exit. I'd expect the weight / SD of the .30 cal will easily penetrate medium game and then the bullet will grenade. Death follows very shortly thereafter.
