Expat, I shoot 165's exclusively in my 308's. This past year I shot a dandy 6pt bull elk in the front leg knuckle with a 165 Hdy BTSP. You could hear the "crack" when the bullet hit that very large bone. The bull dropped at the shot. The Hornady completely broke the knuckle and penetrated the chest cavity. Pretty impressive all around.
