Great Tests Fall Guy, Thank You.

Any one of those bullets would work at any range under 250 yds. in a 308 Winchester. The ELD-X and Nosler BT will also work better and retain more weight at longer ranges.

Considering only the two the better weight retaining bullets, you need to consider looking at minimum expansion thresholds at longer ranges. Both the 30 caliber 165 Nosler Partition and the 30 caliber Barnes 130 Grain TTSX have minimum expansion thresholds of somewhere between 2000 and 1800 FPS.

The 165 gr Nosler Partition, started at 2650 FPS, hits 2000 FPS at about 290 yds at sea level. 1800 FPS is reached at about 380 yds.

The Barnes 130 gr TTSX, started at 3150 FPS hits 2000 FPS at about 440 yds. at sea level. 1800 FPS is reached at about 530 yds.

Nothing earth shattering about those numbers, but something that should be considered when choosing the correct bullet for how and where you hunt.
