[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 2125, member: 3"] Okay, a little more on what I originally tried to convey. The replies to this point have been very good and informative/supportive. Because of the rifles I use and the amount of data I have for these rifles and the quantity and quality of practice I have very high confidence in my ability to hit very near the desired Point Of Aim. We'll assign this a confidence factory of 95% as an example. Because of the many discussions and my personal use of MatchKings and other "lesser quality" (read as NON-Premium) bullets I assume some limitation on the ability of these bullets as compared to actual (company statement) hunting bullets. We'll assign a confidence factor to the bullet of 35% (less than average (50%)). Because of the many animals I've killed in hunts and mostly depredation I feel quite confident in my ability to understand and know in advance the reaction of a critter (known species) so I'll assign a confidence factor of 75% to this. So just with these few items the arbitrary confidence factor system I've selected has allowed me a 205% confidence indicator. Very confortable for me. Now, if I were to use another persons rifle for a hunt (except *WyoWhisper*'s) this rifle confidence factor would drop considerably perhaps to below 50% and now as a result of this I NEED to up the confidence factors in other areas to get back to a comfortable level. The most pressing problem is the low confidence factor I've assigned the MatchKing (for illustration purposes) so I'd immediately go for a bullet that'll allow me a little more leeway in case my bullet can't be placed with the usual surgical precision (Ya right!). Anyway...... I believe this may be a contributor to the non-MatchKing frenzy. Perhaps others don't have the high confidence in the delivery system and animal behavior portions and compensate for this with the Premium Trophy Bonded, Partitioned, monolithic, solid, never stopping but proper expanding "magic" bullet(s), after all [B]"A man has got to know his confidence level"[/B]. What ya think? [/QUOTE]
