[QUOTE="C.O. Shooter, post: 930048, member: 35510"] I have been using a 220 grain Sierra Match King (SMK) in my 300 ultra mag (Sendero) since 2001. It is backed by 90 grains of H1000, in Remington Brass, and powered by Federal 215M primers. For me, this combination yielded the best performance. To date, I have never lost a deer nor had to track one. I probably have killed 25-30 deer here in PA and two in Wyoming. Kills I have made were between 100 to 605 yards. I believe shot placement is crucial to the success of "this bullet." Shot placement on kills varied from center mass, behind the shoulder, neck, and head. I agree with Broz about shooting the high BC bullets, less drift, less drop. I have never loaded any 215 or 230 Bergers in my 300, just because of the performance I got with the SMK. For my new 6.5 build I went with the Berger 140 hybrids. (49 grains H4350, Lapua Brass, Federal 210M primers) Haven't really got to shoot them much (52 rounds) . I took them out hunting this year, but didn't have the opportunity to try them out on any game yet. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/140-gr-6-5mm-hybrid-hunting-117904/[/url] [/QUOTE]
