Thread: 150gr sst vs 178 elidx

hi

I've just brought a savage model 16 with a sixteen inch barrel. Was wanting to know weather the 178 gr elidx will get up enough speed to be effective to 400 yrd or weather i should stick with 150 gr sst. the elidx will open and expand at lower speeds but being a heavier bullet will being going slower right of the bat. wondering should i go with the sst being lighter and faster but there not as effective at mushrooming at lower speeds. i will eventually reload for it but at the moment will just buy factory rounds.

any help would be great
