The 308 would be faster again. The extra velocity makes up for the slightly lower BC inside these ranges. It also punches a bigger hole. What will bleed faster a vessel (elk/deer) with a .264 hole, or a .308 diamter hole. There is zero argument against this.

You are also comparing 2 different bullets, an ELDMatch and ELDX(hybrid). The match has an inherent higher BC where as the X is a better performer on game. The long slender design of the heavy for caliber ELDX allows the petals to open up wide, the wound channel will be bigger than .264 by quite a bit.
No matter what bullet, when compared evenly, pound for pound you'll get more punch from the Creedmoor than the 308.
