[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1167851, member: 38154"] I thought I read on the Sierra site that the Matchking bullets are not designed or intended to be used on game animals, except varmints. I believe that they are designed first and foremost for target shooting, and the jacket is too thin to hold together on deer sized game. Lack of penetration will result in a very large superficial entrance wound which will result in long tracking jobs and lost game. At the speed your bullet will be traveling, you should maybe move up to a bullet designed for the purpose. [/QUOTE]
