[QUOTE="Lapua Baer, post: 750137, member: 62345"] I am talking from experiance. I shot an elk at 740 meters with a 200 grain accubond out of a 300 wby improved. I was by myself with no spotter and the snow was light and fluffy ( couldnt see hit if missed). I shot one shot and the elk didnt even flinch. At this point I was trying to think, high or low. I guessed high because I thought if it was just low maybe I would have seen something or he would have jumped. I dropped my scope one minute and was getting ready to shoot again and he dropped dead in his tracks. Upon inspection there was only a drop of blood on the snow and the bullet was 30 caliber in and 30 caliber out. I have shot many animals at similar distances or farther with sierra match kings and they work awsome in those situations. Second example is my cousin who likes to hunt but not a big long range shooter was shooting 500 yards. My grampa was a big sharps shooter and has a 6'x8' 3/8" or so plate steel he would shoot across the meadow. Well any ways Ryan was shooting this plate out of an 06 and those accubonds were stuck in the plate, they didnt shoot all the way thru but they punched a hole with the boat tail sticking out the back. Dont get me wrong, I still use them for my jump out of the truck and shoot quick guns. They work great and keep the blood shot down, but at long range guarantee they wont work like a Sierra Matchking. [/QUOTE]
