[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 26983, member: 1113"] [b]Re: Prove MK\'s Expand At Long Range.[/b] boyd said it best when he wrote "i didnt say it was a hunting bullet. i said it works VERY well as a hunting bullet." accuracy/shot placement is everything in hunting, especially LR hunting. i use to argue against using MK's with my ol'man in his .243 because as sirra states, it wasnt designed for hunting. however, year after year he puts perfect shots on deer, and has yet to lose one to a MK. i finally gave up argung against him on it because all he did was prove me wrong thru experience. his theory is "as long as i put it where it needs to be, any bullet will take a deer." you might be able to argue against a FMJ, but other than that, its pretty much truth. if you dont think MK's are good for hunting, then dont use them. thats your choice. if you want to know how they perform, then LISTEN to the guys who use them. no big name writier is going to use them because it'll make them look bad for using a target round for hunting, regardless of how they perform. they'll give you theories based on gellitin tests on what could happen. if you want to know what DOES happen, then be smart enough to hear what people who use them regulary have to say, and take that as the most creditable thing you'll find. being ignorant and/or saying the way someone does something on here is wrong is NOT the way to conduct yourself. wisdom is gained from experience. respect those who have an abundance of both. you might just learn something yourself. as for big name writers, i havent seen many of them floating around this place... -brian [/QUOTE]
