[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2518046, member: 118876"] I only have experience with Sierra 7mm 150gr HPBT match bullet shooting deer. It worked great on numerous deer until I shot one that went between two ribs and exited between two ribs. I recovered the buck, but I only found 2-3 drops of blood, the shot placement was great so that was not an issue. The last deer I killed with that bullet was a really nice buck that I shot through the shoulders, breaking both front legs, yes it was a little low but it went through the shoulders and the exit hole was probably the same size as the 7mm bullet. With both front legs broken, he did not go far, but that's when I stopped using a match bullet to shoot deer with. Until now I have not considered using any more match bullets to hunt with but I know some people who I trust that use 215gr 30cal Bergers and they tell me those bullets not only shoot great but also do a great job if you put the bullet through the ribs. If anyone else has any experience with the 215gr Bergers that they shot a deer with that went through the shoulders, quartering shot, or from the rear to the front would be appreciated, even though I have never shot one from back to front I'd like to know how they work on deer size animals just in case that's the only shot I have a monster WT or MD.
