bullets fer .308

[petey]

I shot a 700+ pound Bull elk with 168gr Hornady A-Max's from a 300 RUM this year.

If it can kill an animal that big, I highly doubt you'll have a problem killing a 150 pound deer...



Oh wait!!! I just remembered, here's the buck I shot last year with that same MATCH bullet! Proof is in the pictures, not that the advice above isn't sound.




It's just that, dead is dead and In my opinion Match bullets are highly productive in dropping game quickly! By the way, the elk traveled 10 yards and the buck dropped in his tracks. Elk was shot from the brisket through the quartering shoulder. Bullet was found in the hide on the exiting side. The buck was shot high in the shoulder and exited low in the heart.

I say, if you're reloading, find the most accurate bullet/load combination, then worry about how productive the bullet will be on game. After all, I've heard 1000's of times that Match bullets can't kill deer, and we've proved that theory wrong time after time at distances well beyond 500 yards.
