[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 126, member: 34"] Fellows The Matchking has ALWAYS worked for me in any longrange rifle I have had over the years. Our success rate over many years for kills using Matchkings is 100% of what was hit. This includes elk, Mule and Whitetail deer. The following information is the cartridges that I use them in even now. Bullet selection in my 300 Weatherby 16 1/2 LB rifle is and always will be the 200 or 220 gr Matchking because of the higher BC and the ranges we normally shoot. Good for OVER 1000 yds anytime. For my 7mm/300 Weatherby is the 168 Gr Matchking---Good for OVER 1000 yds anytime. For my 6.5/300 Weatherby--the 142 Gr Matchking---good for OVER 1000 yds anytime For the 338/416 IMP it will ALWAYS be the 300 gr matchking with an Oehler measured BC of .800 coming out of the 37 1/2" barrel at 3250 to 3300 FPS, depending on my load. Killed out to 2100 yds on elk. Penitrated the far shoulder after entering behind the near shoulder. Jack 1K---Many years ago I talked to Walt Berger about the same question you asked about his 180 gr bullets. He said that, the jackets of his bullets are thinner then Sierra and they will fly apart on game and that he did not recommend them for hunting. I see others here have experianced the MK on kills of deer ---They work so well, it scares you. Thats all for now. Darryl Cassel [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
