[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5253093, member: 16465"] I tried 150 grain in my lr308, and was not as happy with the accuracy as I am with the heavier bullets. I have not tried anything lighter than 165's in my other 308's. For what I am shooting, typically under 200 yards, I am not as concerned with potential differences in drop between a 150 and 178 grain pill. Realistically the 178 eldx for longer ranges will likely perform better anyway with a higher bc, and less likely to be influenced by any wind drift. Where the lighter pills have a higher muzzle velocity, they may not continue to carry it downrange as far as the heavier options. I have not input a 150 into a ballistic calculator to know at what point the heavier bullets are maintaining a higher velocity. [/QUOTE]
