[QUOTE="Garou_22, post: 1763305, member: 108900"] I've personally never considered using a bullet that the manufacturer specifically states as not recommended for game use... That said; a couple birdies have told me that certain entities use Sierra MatchKings exclusively. The .300WM load, for instance, is the 190gr MK propelled by RL22 ignited by Goldmedal Match magnum primers and encased with LC brass set to exact SAMI OAL. The .308 recipe is a little different & the only thing I recall is the 168gr. MK as the projectile. I don't own a .308, I do own a .300WM, so I payed more attention to what I own. Anyway, seems to me that if entities who's job description includes hunting and efficiently dispatching the world's single most dangerous animal on a regular basis find the Matchking effective, well then, maybe I've been wrong to dismiss them as a viable game option. Of course, those same entities are limited in their Geneva legal selection of projectiles, so there's that. The .300WM recipe worked incredibly well in my factory M70 even with changing the brass to Win and the primers to CCI 250's and using Nosler 190gr LR's... at the time, federal primers were short supply as were the 190MK's and I just don't have any .300WM lake city brass at all.
