I have 178edlx shooting really well at 2580 44g 2208 max mag lenght, haven't shot anything with them but get varing reports.
Have used 125 prohunters work well to moderate range, also 130 hp speers they really do blow up at full speed, say the 130g targex would be simular at medium distance to 300ish slowing they would preform quite well, keep away from heavy bones.

I literally loaded them to saami spec and found a load with the first 12 rounds I loaded from charge ladder, it's good out to 600ish yards I reckon. Certainly slam dunked the spiker at 400y he dropped like a sack of spuds never looked like taking a step post hit.
