Is there any major disadvantage to using 150 grain bullets for elk hunting. It seems the .308 users like them but the consensus is that 165 and 180 grains are the Holy Grail for the odd6. Seeing is that they are closely related is there a disadvantage?
Why would you want to use a 150 when a 165 or 180 will do everything the 150 will do, but more of it?
If recoil is an issue I understand, but it's tough to beat a good 165 at 2,900 from an 06'. Ditto a 180 at 2,800.
I wouldn't intentionally use a 150, but having said that, also wouldn't be worried about killing an elk if that's what I had.
