I'm about to trial the 178gn eldx in my 308, have heard good things about them. Currently running 168gn eldm's and they aso seem to work pretty well.
I think heavy for caliber mitigates the impact velocity at close range whilst still carrying ample energy and velocity for longer range shots.

Im a huge fan of the 168 in .308 i run 42 and 42.6 of 2206h fed 210s and win cases and with 178 eldm 41.4 of 2206h fed 210 win cases

Yip i always put it down to to fast as never had issues out far i also had them kill brilliant up close it was the inconsistency that got me lost aninals were stags so shoulder shots and front on in the chest
