The last one i shot using the sf 168gr eldm worked a treat though at 30 yards. Opened up nicely, much better than sst imo as I find they only work well past 100yards but eldm seems to open up...

Yeah 165gr going too slow out of an 18" barrel for them to open up. Sika need speed i reckon, they don't give up the ghost as easily as reds. The 130ttsx @3k did the best job on them bush hunting....

Having hunted sika a fair bit with the .308 I've found 150s to work better than 165/180. 130gr ttsx by far was the best especially in the roar, the only load to completely 'stop' a sika in its tracks...
