[QUOTE="Brent, post: 23804, member: 99"] To tell you the truth Darryl, it is a medium range wolf and coyote bullet with the Closer range moose in mind too. I'll probably use the 168XLC because of the even smaller holes it should make. After 500 or 600 yards I'm not too worried about the Matchkings devastating hides as much, but up close the other two may keep sewing up hides to a minimum. The Matchkings in 220 and 240's I'll have to order, I can't find them anywhere and the main supplier up here only stocks 220's in 100ct boxes too. I'll just order a couple boxes each to test of the 220's and 240's then pick one and go to 500rd boxes. My father was out with me yesterday shooting his AR-10T, he was spraying 168 A-Maxes all over a 5" group above the bull at 100 yards. He's gave up on them for good now. He loaded the 168 SMK's and fired 3 rounds, the first one drilled the bull, the 2nd in the same hole and the 3rd he held off slightly to verify they were stacking up, it was touching the other two. At 300 yards they are all practically touching each other still. SMK's are his favorite for any of his guns too. All other are judged by the MK. I don't know if I said but the action had been bedded and barrel floated, likely action trued also but have to call to verify. Are witness marks usually placed on the action, recoil lug and barrel from the factory? I've never seen them before on the others I have or have had. A friend of mine sayed this smith doesn't do work on a rifle unless the whole job is done completely. There appears to be fine sanding (The matte is polished) around the edge of the barrel to recoil lug and recoil lug to action mating surfaces. Another thing, I shot about 40 rounds out of it the other day and went to clean it afterward, 2 patches of Shooters choice and 20-30 strokes had the powder out. I looked to see how bad the copper was in the muzzle and there was not a trace at all. I have NEVER had a rifle that didn't copper foul like that.
