[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 2684114, member: 56740"] Lee- Prior to this past Oct. a I would agree with you completely. However- the Elk I shot was killed with a 147 gr. MATCH bullet from Hornaday. I was not aware that I was using a match round as it was my guide’s rifle. The Elk only took a few steps and crashed into the rocky ground on the shoulder of a mesa. I was a little P.O. ed at him for not telling me it was a match round instead he told me “this is the round I always use and I have not lost a single Elk when the shot had decent placement, but I knew what a hard headed S.O.B. you are- so you would have to prove it to yourself. Congratulations… now- grab that leg and help me gut him…🤣” Don’t know that I am 100% sold on match rounds for hunting…. But I can’t be a hard-liner against the use now that I used one to take a bull myself😊 [/QUOTE]
