I have since changed to 168 ELD-M in that rifle and they seem to go better. The BTs were great in the 300wm but I suspect a bit hard for the lower velocity of the 308win.
    Sorry. As you were. Back on topic.

    Haha. After 9 years someone finally watched it
    Yeah. Hit in the point of the shoulder. I was very surprised it stayed standing for as long as it did. Wagging their tail is usually a good sign though.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    When the 80 grn Targex hits a bony bit (entry). Still enough penetration to kill it on the spot though. About 100 yards.

    @Thar what speed did you have the 69gr targex going? Did you find it made any difference on animals?

    3K from a couple of 20" barrels using 2206.

    80 grain at 2800 performs better than 69grn at 3000. But 69 grn at 3000 performs a lot better than 69 grn at 2800.

    Targex 69grn at 2.9/3k are better than 55 grn cup and core at 3150 on deer.

    From my experience only.
