[QUOTE="Buckmaster, post: 114902, member: 5638"] Fishry, the gamekings suck and Hornady doesn't shoot well in all guns. Matchkings work on game, no doubt about it. But, that is not the issue here. The issue here is that the 190 MK & the 308 are not an effective combo for what you want or may need. Try the Accubonds, you may be pleasantly surprised. If I was shooting a potential trophy of a lifetime I would probably shoot something else other than a 308 to 1000. You said 600-800, I see no reason why you couldn't get within 600 yards in the Wyoming country. Inside 600 with a 165+ Accubond or other premium bullet and you should have no problems. The 180 should get you to 1000, but you may lack the energy you need with 308 velocity. Accubonds are a fantastic bullet in any caliber, they shoot well is most guns, they are not finicky, and they perform well at max loads. The Hornadys seem to perform best when you back off the loads a bit. I do not have a problem with MK's for hunting, but If I do not have to, then why? Remember we are not talking about the big Mk's in mag calibers here, we are talking about a 308. [/QUOTE]
