I am looking into taking a DIY elk hunt next year and am searching factory loadings for elk. The newer Winchester XP3 loading looks really nice for my .308 hunting rifle, but it is only in 150 grain loading. My thoughts were to go with a 180 grain, possibly a 165 grain bullet, but the reviews on these bullets are fantastic and was wondering what some of you elk hunters thought about it.
