[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1882486, member: 8873"] My experience is that not all bullets by the same manufacturer are the same, can’t really even compare the “same” bullet in different calibers or even weights per caliber. Then add in there different reactions to various impact velocities. Take for instance the Matchking, not recommended by Sierra for hunting. However the 300 grain .338 caliber is one of my favorites for just that. I have had one shot kills/drops from very close to over 1400 yards. I have killed things with .308 cal Matchkings with mixed results, and bad ones from 7mm versions. Even hunting bullets can act this way; my daughter’s .243 with 95 SST has absolutely smashed every whitetail deer it’s been pointed at, however the same type bullet in a .338 Edge was less impressive. So when someone bashes one bullet maker and categorizes their products all inclusive, then that is usually out of ignorance. I have put a companies name on the “I do not use for hunting” list in the past, Cutting Edge was one. My experience was back when they only had the MTH for hunting and a buddy and myself were less than impressed with terminal performance with multiple cals-weights-impact velocities-on different animals. Now they have the Lazer that I haven’t killed anything with, so I hold my tongue towards the company and just don’t use what I know I didn’t like. [/QUOTE]
