Thread: 150gr sst vs 178 elidx

If it was the one on trade me recently looks like a nice rifle and a good buy.

I used 150gr sst for years with my 16" 308 Zastava. 8208xbr powder at 2550 fps. Killed well out to 300m
Not too explosive for the really close stuff and still did enough damage at 300m.
I never tried any 178s but Hornady 168 match shot better than any 150gr pill i tried.

The only factory 308 ammo i have tested over a chrony from a short barrel is Belmont 150gr SP and that was 2500fps out of a 16inch T3.
