[QUOTE="Rymart, post: 496144, member: 3688"] Just because a bullets' original/primary design was for accuracy (shooting match) and not for 'expanding', doesn't mean that it doesn't expand and work well as a hunting bullet. Look it up, the topic has been beaten to death and well documented. As far as Sierras 'response' to the "ridiculous" idea: 1) Berger recommended against using the EXACT SAME bullets that are now known and recommended as hunting bullets for decades. The bullet didn't change, the good results on game didn't change, just their opinion changed. 2) Marketing the SMK as a good hunting bullet could lead to legal issues for their largest single customer. Apparently not worth the risk to them. Fact is I've had more bullet failures with 'hunting' bullets than with 'match' bullets. Actually, I've had zero bullet failures with match bullets. [/QUOTE]
