[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1763933, member: 60453"] It is typical of a heart shot. For some reason, a heart shot will sometimes result in the animal running for short distances. It sounds like the bullet performed perfectly, however. Sierra does not recommend use of match bullets for hunting, but they will work, and from the damage described, this one worked perfectly. Nobody who hunts and kills game in large numbers gets a DRT every time. Sometimes, they're just tougher than others. Sometimes they just don't drop right away no matter how hard they're hit. As long as you don't lose the animal and the animal dies quickly, the bullet has done its job. But again, Sierra doesn't recommend any of their match bullets as hunting bullets, so I would go with the 165 grain Gameking or the 180 grain Gameking, both of which are actually designed for hunting, rather than any of the Matchking bullets in ANY weight.
