[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 22880, member: 547"] [b]Re: 7 MM VLD\'s for hunting[/b] Match bullets are funny creatures. Sometimes they act like an FMJ on impact & poke a hole right through. Saw what a Sierra 168 does on a thin skinned creature at close range a few years back - through & through plus a metal door, ceiling, & attic. It weighed 168 grains after recovery & only had a bent nose at the meplat plus the land markings. Other times (usually at higher velocity) they expand or shed the jacket & start to come apart. DC & some of the others can give you a dissertation on what they'll do at a distance. The coyotes I've shot with 168 Sierra MKs from different .308s have typically had pretty big exit wounds FWIW. None of those were over 500 though. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
