Killed my buck last year at 28 yds with a match bullet. Did great. Killed my bull last year at 60 yds with a match bullet. Did great. Killed the elk before that at 735 yds with a match bullet. Did great. I could continue but you get the point. That's why I shoot them...

One thing we all can agree on, we have lots of options and that's a good thing, I think.  :o

What kind of match bullet.
We want to know what works and what doesn't.
If it works for you then spill the beans. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Short answer...because they kill in spectacular fashion. 


Yeah, well........a .450 Rigby will kill a 200 lb. mule deer in "spectacular fashion", too.  Doesn't mean it's the right tool for the job.

Just shoot what you want. Don't worry about anyone else.

I doubt a 450 Rigby would kill a 200lb muley in spectacular fashion lol. It would just punch through.

I've shot berger from 115s in a 25 06 to 180s in my 7mm mag....all died dang near instantly.  I've seen the eldx kill elk and buff where they stood. Know your gun, ammo, put it in the right place and good things happen.

 :chuckle: The 3 mentioned would be a 130 Berger, a 162 eld-m and a 168 Berger, in that order
