[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2518093, member: 109862"] This is exactly why I said what I did about preferring polymer tipped match bullets if I’m going to use them for hunting. It’s pretty much a certainty that there’s never an “ice pick” or pencil thin wound channel like what happened with your Sierra. Can’t count on tumbling. I’ve heard in general that Sierra matchkings (along with hornady bthp and Nosler rdfs) should be avoided for that reason - mixed reports about lapua scenars, good reports about berger hunting vlds but hey, they designed them for that, just including them because they’re an OTM and not tipped. But tipped match bullets are like grenades inside. Be sure to sue the heaviest for caliber one you can stabilize out of an appropriately large cartridge imo. 225 eld m out of a .300 win mag is an “off” switch. [/QUOTE]
