    I've used alot of 162eldms, 180eldm and 168lrab
    The benefit of the 180 is when shooting them out of a magnum at 3000fps plus that they still work well due to extra mass at short range
    The 168 lrab cannot be faulted if your rifle likes them. Although they hold together due to being bonded they still have exceptional killing prowess at long range on thin skin animals which is very impressive. Furtherest clean/instant kill was 940 yards on a nanny goat. And yet devastating on big angry stags
    162 eldm i would imagine would be the best all rounder at say 2900 fps give or take. Very reliable and repeatable results on all size game.
    I wouldn't imagine the wind drift would be a big difference between any of these pills at 600 yards.
