[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2825013, member: 15054"] It may not be real scientific but may shed some light on the matter. New bullet i found very accurate in my .308. 168Gr tipped match king.Literature states not a hunting bullet as penetration will be minimal. OK so I have tested other 168 gr bullets on deer, Cows and coons and they work awesome. That bullet was the 168gr Amax. So to see what this NEW tipped match king(TMK) does i set up a test. Gallon milk jugs full of water. The TMK actually penetrated 1 more jug than the A-Max. You could set up a test with wet newsprint or gallon jugs or even plywood or sheet rock stacked in layers to see if your current hunting bullet that you like performs the same as this new one you found. Now I had a 7.62x39 and killed a deer with the 123gr FMJ HP which i would not really consider a great deer bullet. But 1 shot to the neck and that deer never took a step.. I like a bullet that expands inside the animal,, care less if it exits or not as long as most or all of that bullet energy is left in the deer. Bullets that pencil through make for a bit of tracking a lot of the time. Heck my 150gr 30-30 soft point usually pencils through..people would consider that a great hunting bullet.. but my results are what you would think. Head shot between the eyes and I do get expansion.. but that slow sucker through both rib sides always left 2 tiny holes. Better get lungs or heart or spine with the 30-30. In my experience. Now get to testing. Maybe someone near you like a deer processor or another hunter will give you a head and a little section of neck to test the bullet on. I tested my 60gr Vmax for the .223 on a neck and i will say i will definitely shoot a deer with that bullet and not question it's ability [/QUOTE]
