[QUOTE="dakor, post: 562563, member: 2204"] RDM416 sorry if it came out the wrong way but do appreciate your information in your posts I just answered your question on why I wanted to switch and we all know matchking bullets work there are just to many guys out the and to many dead animals to say they don’t. I guess if I was going to use a matchking I would stick with the 300gr as my rifle really shoots them well that being said I would not want to try drive one on a closer shot in the timber at a hard angle into the vitals either. I never really thought about Barnes because I have had hit and miss luck with their bullets. I have had couple rifles like them and some that I shoot their tsx bullets in them and I end up spending 3 hours trying to get all the copper out even using 50 BMG. I contacted Barnes about my 375 H&H and shooting their 300gr tsx and told them it would take me hours to clean it and they tried to blame the rifle and not the bullet. I explained that I could shoot Nosler, Speer, and Sierra bullets in this rifle and it never copper fouled. When I shot just a few tsx bullets in it I could see the lands plugged with copper and it would take me 3 hours to clean it. The conversation basically ended with they did not believe me so from that point on I never really consider their bullets. [/QUOTE]
