Thanks for the article Brad. My first big game animal with a rifle was the Federal high energy load with 180 Partitions out of my 308 Win. Now that rifle shoots 155 Scenars into tiny groups. If I were to use the 308 hunting regularly, I'd look hard at the 165 Trophy Bonded Tips or possibly a 150 or 130 TTSX. Really there are countless good possibilities. Federal's load data states just over 2900 using 2000MR with the 165 TBT. That's good elk medicine!
