I haven't found much difference in "killing power" between various "premium" bullets in the 150-180 grain range in the.308 (or .30-06) on several safaris, including a couple of big cull shoots. From what I recall right now, the bullets have included the 150 Nosler E-Tip and AccuBond; 165 TSX, AccuBond and Partition; and 180 Hornady Interlock and Nosler Partition. There were probably others, but right now I'm too tired and lazy to look them up in my records, but they include a LOT of animals.
When put in the right place they all penetrated sufficiently to kill well on plains game including gemsbok, black and blue wildebeest, kudu, zebra, all in the 500-800 pound range.
That would also include the same general range of bullet weights and animals shot with the .270 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, 7x57 Mauser, .280 Remington, etc.If you shoot 'em in the right place, they pretty much fall over within 50 yards or less. If you don't, they wont.
Where's the hair-splitting loonyism in that, John??
