RE match bullets. Buddy went with me this weekend. Owner insisted he should shoot a doe too, was just along for the 500+ mile round trip for the ride basically. He shot a doe early on, about 125 yards or so, rib shot, coming out the front shoulder. Ran a bit as most deer usually do. About a 100 pound dressed doe. Was loaned a rifle, 308 PSS. Bullet went in, took the heart, exit about silver dollar sized. Great performance. Then back at camp I noticed the box of ammo. Fed gold metal match, 168 bthp. Nice performance for sure. Second animal I've seen go down with same. Owner is an ex highpower shooter. Many deer have gone down to this 308 in south TX and its all he uses anymore. FWIW.
Me, I stuck to 640 grain projectile and 2 of the 6mm 85tsx which did their usual bang up job. Not impressed with the 50 ball round though.
