Hi Klem,
Thanks for your detailed and informative reply.
I've tried 123gr ELD-M factory ammo and although its sold as a target round, it got much more the sort of terminal ballistics I'm looking for.
So, I'll do some reloading with it and see if that's confirmed with more use.
I'm using 27.5gr of the 8208 and I reckon even that's compressed.
I have a ladder of higher charge weights loaded up for future testing but after reading your advice think I'll just pull them all and put the time into setting up a load with the ELD-M. Cut my losses. Hopefully I'll get the expansion with more modest powder charge and don't really need the velocity if I can make proper use of the KE I have.
