[QUOTE="NW NM hunter, post: 2517999, member: 122861"] So I dont have the experience some do in this thread. But have seen lots of animals shot with match bullets, it's what my dad has reloaded for hunting all his life and he was a guide for years. Since reading the threads here I have an idea why it works for some folks and not others. Speed, shot placement and bullet selection. I probably wouldn't run a light match grade bullet at a high speed at close range and shoot something in the shoulder, otherwise it might explode before proper penetration. For example a eldm bullet at 50yds out of a 280ai is going to react differently than one out of a 28 nosler due to the speed. My recommendation is know your guns velocities then look at a bullets construction for how it will perform under those velocities in the manner and range you want it to. Without answering those questions all the answers you get will be for someone else's situation. [/QUOTE]
