All my buddies that were shooting the ELDX bullets have switched. Same story with all of them. They shot extremly well and killed deer just fine but no blood trails and very few pass throughs. They would have a hard time finding the deer if they were in real thick areas which is 90% of what we hunt. It’s a great bullet if your hunting open areas where you can see them run off after the shot. Really tears them up on the inside. ELDX is not designed for light skinned southern deer at close ranges.
I for the life of me can’t figure out why ppl can’t settle on time tested and proven simple copper jacket around a lead core ammo in a green or blue box. Usually, the cheapest ammo is the best at killing stuff, if it groups. And you don’t need sub MOA to kill deer. This is what I'm seeing. Both deer were average size does. Neither left any blood. Matt, I was trying to find a factory load that uses a Nosler Partition when you posted. I found the Federals in stock at Natchez and ordered a couple of boxes. I haven't reloaded in 20 years but have .308 brass and found 2 boxes of 150 gr., .30 cal. Partitions, so I guess I'll start setting up to make my own again.

Anyone shooting the Norma 150 gr 308? I got a 10 box deal for $150 back a while, but haven’t had a chance to try them out of my BLR 308. Robinhedd Just sighted in some with my little finnlight 7mm08. Wasn't really sure how would shoot being a 150, but she still punched out a hair under an inch group at a 100, and the POI is exactly the same as my Federal Premium 140s (that are no longer made) think i'm gonna trime out on something
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

They shoot real good. Haven’t shot them at deer yet, but I will as soon as I wrap up these partitions.

I have a bunch of federal power shock blue box and Norma whitetail I bought cheap. It shoots great and I’ve killed a pile of deer with them. I’m saving all the brass and going to reload them with 150 accubonds
