I have a Browning medallion in 270WSM that i use for my deer hunting trips.
Lately i have been having a tough time finding the 150g bullets that i use so i want to try and keep some for when the season starts .
I managed to score about 150 x 135grain Sierra Match Kings which i decided to use for practise until Deer season is here and switch back to the 150g Nosler Hunting bullets .
I am really liking the load i have worked up using the 135grain Sierras .
Would the Match King bullets be any good for deer Hunting or is that a full stop NO .
Just asking the question thats all .
Thanks for any and all replies .
 
Deer are thin skinned and easy to kill. They'll "work". Not the best choice on paper, but they'll kill.
 
I have used plenty of Sierra MK on deer sized game in several cals, they kill, but have the tendency to destroy a lot of edible meat, so, I shoot them through the ribs behind the shoulder.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply . I'll remember that just in case i do decide to use these rounds for hunting .
 
I'll add to that... if you use them, make sure you get all the lead and copper bits out, especially before you grind it: plays havoc on equipment, molars, crowns...
