[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 961116, member: 54178"] HUNTING BULLETS V.S. MATCH BULLETS After shooting a spring turkey in PA years ago and having 69 gr. Sierra match the bullet pass through its breast and seeing the tom get away I no longer use match bullets for hunting. (The next fall during archery season a hunter stopped me and told me he had shot "my" tom! His taxidermist told him about the thru-and-thru breast shot he saw. The hunter remembered me bitching back at the nearby ski lodge about hitting the turkey but having it run away. What a coinky-dink! Two guys shot the same turkey in two different seasons.) Hollow point match bullets are [I]approved[/I] under the Geneva Convention for use as sniper rounds because they do NOT open up and so I doubt very much if any Berger Tactical bullets would do for hunting. Their hollow point does not extend back to the lead core. [/QUOTE]
