[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1043775, member: 10178"] I have had good results and bad results. I have shot a number of deer with the 168 gr .308. Most of the time the bullet would expand really quick and drop a deer in it's tracks. A couple times the bullets just ice picked straight through like a FMJ and deer ran quite a good ways before expiring. I use the 69 gr MK in my AR 223 to shoot ground hogs and so far it has expanded really well and blows LARGE exits. I have made the decision to not use the Match Kings on deer any more though. There are plenty of bullets designed as game bullets that are just as accurate and I have never had one of these bullets not expand. Sierra Game Kings or Pro Hunters or Nosler Ballistic Tips just kill game really well. [/QUOTE]
