[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 25383, member: 3"] [b]Re: ? on sierra MK\'s...[/b] I have shot a number of animals with the Sierra MatchKings and there are a few I didn't get, this was probably not due to the bullet. I sometimes misplace animals and they also disappear in the confusion of killing them during crop damage shoots. I have at this point NOT used a 6.5mm MatchKing on anything. I have watched a friend of mine shoot a few deer with a 6.5 x 284, some ran off never to be found. This was also during some crop damage shoots and I attribute some to less than ideal shot placement and others to bullet problems. I have heard more than once that the 142 and/or 140 6.5mm MatchKings don't perform as well as other MatchKings on critters. I'll try them myself once I have my 6.5x284 and if I have similar results or misgivings I'll try other Match Quality bullets, perhaps the Hornady A-Max. [/QUOTE]
