[QUOTE="dk17hmr, post: 1763297, member: 21384"] I have used match bullets to fill the freezer a number of times. Mostly A-max bullets but smk's a couple of times. Unless it's tipped I won't do it again after last years cow elk taking three 300gr smk's from my 338 Lapua. If you hit heavy bone they work well if you don't they pencil. I like meat so stay off the shoulders. I switched to the 230 eldx in my Lapua for the second elk last year at a similar distance and similar placement slightly larger cow even she took one round and fell over with a 2" exit hole in her side. Sierra makes great bullets in general I'd look at the game changer line though for hunting. My 6/250AI shoots the 90gr at just under 3400fps into sub 1/2 moa groups at the top end of where I'll shoot an animal from. [/QUOTE]
