    used to run the 208amax in my 10 twist 308 at i think 2450fps, it was an absolute hammer haha.
    I shoot 168 eldm now though.
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    They work fine in a 3006, perfect for big angry scrub bulls

    Far out, that was educational. The performance of the ELD-X at 1600fps is impressive.

    The 10" twist looks like its a deal breaker. What rifle do you have @Rated M for Magnum?
    Just...say...the...word

    Softish up front with a good base. Haven't used the 180gr Partition but I would think they're similar.

    That's what I thought haha.

    Mine is a 10 twist howa, the mag box will be the limiting factor but I received some semi instructional photos on how to lengthen it from another member of the forum @Flyblown

    I'm currently looking to pick up a Bergara BA-13 16.5 inch 308. 1 in 8 twist, single shot so no mag length issues. Could be fun to play with heavy bullets, though my initial thoughts are slow loads using 30-30 projectiles.

    if you are going to go slow or subsonic...you may as well go cast...SHOOTERSNZ makes awesome 151grn hps and the 200grn ones seem to be pretty good to,havent played much with them yet but at 2100fps (by book) they are hitting target pointy end first close to where I was aiming.

    I already load Roberts 151s in 308 and 30-30, subsonic and faster low-speed loads, haven't used them in anger yet. Playing with the 308 today the subs shot a very good group at 100m, but 14 inches below the point of aim (rifle is zeroed for 178 eld-x at 200m). Subs were only 2.5 inches low at 50m, but that was with the magnetospeed on, which has a large effect on POI.
