[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 918, member: 313"] Darryl, I just knew you were going to say that. HeHe I have only shot one whitetail with a Sierra Matchking. Fired from a 7 WBY mag, the bullet took him broadside in the chest from about 100yds. Deer made it into the freezer quickly. The 52gr Matchkings are quite lethal on groundhogs out to 500yds but it seems that the bone of contention here is Matchkings and "big game". However, I am one of the guys who is more comfortable using a controlled expansion bullet. My recommendation for a big game, longrange bullet in 7mm would also be the 150gr Scirrocco. I have had good luck (accuracy-wise) with this bullet at full throttle in my 7STW. BOTTOM LINE: When in doubt, listen to Darryl VH [/QUOTE]
