[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1785342, member: 71817"] A match bullet is not a hunting bullet. A match bullet is designed to meet a different set of performance criteria than a hunting bullet is. If you get lucky and find a match bullet that performs well on game then do consider yourself lucky. Also keep in mind that just because someone else has good performance on game with their match grade bullet/caliber doesn't mean that your match grade bullet should perform similarly. There are an awful lot of quality, accurate hunting grade bullets on the market. I am not a long range competition shooter. When I zero my rifle if I can't achieve MOA at a given range my goal then is Minute of deer. If I manage the minute of deer goal out to 600-800 yards then I'm more than satisfied, 99 times out of 100 I successfully fill out my tag. If I were a long range competition shooter I would purchase one of the fine Precision Rifles on the market and work up a load that will shoot the warts off a pickle at 500 yards. But I would not take that rifle and load out to the woods and expect to be happy with the results. [/QUOTE]
