[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 614875, member: 5302"] Sierra doesn't recommend using Match Kings for big game. They too often open up way too fast and don't penetrate. While these bullets do have their following for big game, it's risky. Sierra 180 and 200 grain spitzer boattail hunting bullets would be better; they were popular in competition before Sierra started making 30 caliber match bullets. A good starting load for the .308 Norma Mag. is 62 grains of IMR4350 under the 190's. 65 or 66 grains was a favorite when this cartridges was used to shoot Sierra 190's in long range matches winning their fair share of them.
