178 ELDX

47.5 gr Big Game
WLRM (ball powder, better ignition with Magnum primer)

3 bulls, one antelope, a truckload of bucks...
Should you have the hankering, I'm using 46.2 gr Big Game with a Winchester Large Rifle Magnum primer and 150 ELDX for 2789 fps and little bitty groups. That's out of three different rifles, all Tikkas.
