Look, I have to comment on you Guys using match bullets for long range or closer. The proof is in the pudding..,,..Take a good gander at the Match bullets used in this thread..hunting bullets versus match ..,,,..,,

You commented but did not add any value. What is your point?

Yeah, they work real well wouldn't you agree?

I hope your metric for performance isn't weight retention. I can't count how many animals I've seen fold on the spot never to take another breath with "match" bullets.

If you ask me I'd say they work pretty well......... I'll probably never go back to a "hunting " bullet. Like ever! Give me a eld-m or a berger!

I've also been using 155gr Palma Sierra Match Kings for years in my .308 Win and have never lost an animal (knock on wood). Always had a nice blood trail if it didn't fall when it was hit which most fell immediately. I use Barnes-X in my 300WM and I really can't tell the difference in the wound between the 308 Win and the 300WM.

Barnes Buster 400gr solids out of a 45/70 recovered from an Australian water buffalo. First shot (bullet on right) smashed both shoulders and was just under skin. Follow up shot (centre) raking from behind last rib and found in neck, could probably be reloaded. Unfired round for comparison.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but you're getting really super velocities with a 308 win? Or is it those velocities with .308 caliber bullets not nit picking just wondering

I am running a 40" barrel......just kidding.

.308"....those were from a .300RUM.

Ya, we are not shooting dangerous game. We are shooting deer and elk.

Says you. LOL It's a thread about bullet performance, not deer or elk killing.

Everybody knows hunting bullets make critters more deader than pointy match bullets. That poor sheep was dead before he heard the crack, not very sporting

I knew it was something like that or at least thought so . If it was the old 308 win I was going hit you up for some dandy load data .
With that all said if I get home in the next few days I've got a whole collection of recovered bullets . I'll have to see if I'm smart enough to put some pics on here . Granted not all are recovered from game animals but still I've got a pretty decent collection

Sorry, sometimes I confuse this site for a long range hunting site.

Probably why there's a section for bow hunting
