[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3058798, member: 109862"] Can’t answer haha. All bullets have strengths and weaknesses. Few if any “hunting” bullets have the same strengths for terminal efficacy at lower impact velocities at distance that tipped match bullets have, like the eld m and Sierra tmk. By that same token there are no match bullets that id intentionally shoot a moose in the shoulder with at 50 yards. That sort of thing brings out their weakness more than plays to their strength. Same reason we don’t use flat point solids for long range shooting or varmint bullets for dangerous game stopping rifles. There is nothing wrong with varmint bullets or solids or match bullets or “hunting” bullets whether soft, bonded, mono…. They are all tools. There are some jobs for which a given tool is better and some for which it is worst (can’t find fault with a hammer if using it to shovel your driveway - not the tool for the job) There really are some kinds of hunting AND some anticipated game size relative to impact velocity where match bullets aren’t just adequate, acceptable, or a compromise but are in fact the best tool for the job.
