Hornady match bullets/big game

[ol_spark]

We killed 4 deer this year using 140 AMax out of a 6.5 284 at ranges of 530,680,733 and 742 yds. Results were all pretty much the same. Dead deer. See pics.

We'll be using them again next year.

How fast are you pushing the 140 amax in your 6.5-284

Hornady Match
Thanks a bunch guys for all the good information on the Hornady bullets both A-Max and regular match. I especially appreciate the information on the 168 Hornady match bullet out of the 30/06 which is fairly close to the .308 I would be using. Years ago I had seen results on the 6.5 284 using Hornady std match bullets for hunting with good results but up to now, I had seen little on the Hornady's with most information posted referencing Sierra match bullets.

There is a lot of interesting good information here and I appreciate it.

thanks again guys..

regards

Paul

The 140 AMax is travelling 2940fps from a 28" Douglas barrel.
