Thanks

I've used the 208 eldm out of a 300 win mag at 2900 fps muzzle velocity. At 500 yards it was magic on elk. At 100 yards it was sketchy marginal on a big mule deer. Bullet evaporated. I'd for sure not want to take a shoulder shot on an elk up close with a 208 eldm. Perhaps the 180 is a toupher bullet but I doubt it! I'd guess if your shooting critters beyond 300 yards every time it may be a good way to go

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
