[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 672955, member: 23486"] With the explosion of quality hunting bullets to hit the market in the past couple years, it really isn't worth your time to look at the MatchKing for your needs. MatchKings WILL kill an animal, the problem is repeatability & consistency (speaking of terminal ballistics). If you were shooting 300 or 338 magnum, I would be speaking slightly differently, but your 7mm-08 just isn't the right match for a SMK. Mike made some great suggestions & i'll +1 the 150 TTSX. Even your 168VLD would do the job as it WILL expand in situations where the SMK might not (thicker jacket). The Accubond will do nicely, as will the Scirrocco (sp). As much as it pains me to say it, a heavy Partition should work well in this case. Don't worry about the SMK, it is a highly accurate bullet that just wasn't designed for hunting. It will probably work, but it isn't worth it in THIS case. [/QUOTE]
