Thread: Hornady 174 ELD-VT - feedback?

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.
