b4 my Dad moved outta state ta retire; he used a 308 win ta harvest several elk and deer. i think he used 165 gr hornady interlock spp's. but after he dumped his re-loading equipment he switched to hornady light mag factory loaded 165 gr... i use a 30-06 with 180gr sp's and comparing wound chanels and effectiveness (as in how quick the animal droped) i could see no difference in the two. im strictly an amature; but in over 10 years i never had ta track any of his elk. they fell close ta where they were shot.
