[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 528914, member: 21068"] I would bet that you'll be fine shooting 175 match bullets at the distances you mention. I don't personally have any experience with 308 match bullets on game, but I've taken alot of game with small caliber match bullets. In my experience, at "normal" distances they have performed well. The match bullet problem, or used to be anyway, was that match bullets had thicker jackets and the hollow point wasn't a "true" hollow point. They weren't designed to expand on game...........but in my tests, they do expand quite nicely on varmints and deer/antelope when the distances aren't far and the projectile speed is still pretty good. There are tons of factory offerings in 308, I am sure you'll find something that will shoot good. [/QUOTE]
