[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 63619, member: 2245"] [b]Re: [url]www.live-shot.com[/url][/b] Well i wouldn't call me inexperienced, ive been hunting 30 years and hunt at least 3 days a week for over 10 months per year, i probably hunt more than any one on this board who doesn't do it for a living. I'm not suggesting have 20 different loadings for each type of game. I'm just telling you that if you insist on using match bullets on deer sooner or later you are gonna screw up. If the Amax is capable as a deer bullet then some one should tell Hornady and they can cash in on the marketing. the SMK is not a game bullet. Ive got particular loads for different classes of game. Ive one that i'd use for varmints. One that i use for small deer one i use for larger deer, one i use for pigs and tougher game. and one i'd use for dangerouse game. and one i'd use for very dangerouse game. to be honest i could probably group the varmints and small deer into one and use 1 bullet and probably group the larger deer and pigs into one and use 1. so i could then cover 100% of all my hunting wishes with 4 bullet types instead of 6. all my hunting loads with hunting bullets will group under 1/2moa.some do hell of a lot better than that, I don't have to worry about a bullet coming apart before it reaches the vitals of going straight through doing little dammage. I chose my loads for the application i expect to encounter. Ive been down the road of bullet failures and ive learned my lesson. The game deserves better. and with ref to me thinking i am always right,, not so. but i have enough experience not to advocate the use of match bullets on game in a place where in experienced folk might take it way out of context and where anti's might use it as ammunition against us.
