Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 300 win mag bullets

In fairness...I've never even heard of that projectile?!? Hint......................(grin)

i cant tell what you are hunting. jackrabbits? deer ? moose? elk?

if you call sierra they will tell you tipped matchkings are awesome for targets.

The 220 Scenar and 212 ELD's aren't horrible either. Maybe not the top of the heap BC wise, they work well.

The 200 Accubond is a good bullet but I think it's a bit tough at around 2000 FPS from a 1-10 twist, 1-8 seems to make it act a bit better on animals.

LOL, everything but answering the question....😅

Right, that's a heck of a good bullet.

Match kings are meant for matches like target shooting.
Game kings are made for killing game.
I’m sure the TMK will work, but I’d be looking at 180 TGK instead.

I shot a cow elk this year with 180 game kings out of 06. 2800+ FPS. She was at 75ish yards . It was high center shot as she was trotting. Found the bullet on opposite side. Opened to .760 inches and weighed in at 122 gr.

Draw your own conclusions what match king at magnum velocity will do at close range

When II had my 300 Win Mag it was 200gr Sierra Game Kings but that was 40 yrs ago and that and the 200gr Partitions were the only game in town.

I settled on the 200gr nosler partition, when I was hunting my 300wm exclusively. Ran those about 2,900 fps and they worked well.. Now I run that same bullet in my 30-06 rifles at a mundane speed of about 2,700 fps.. They penetrate very well though, and are extremely accurate..


This buck fell to a 200gr partition from my 300wm. Great combo back then. Now days, I would still run that, or maybe think about switching to a TTSX or LRX. IF they shoot well.

53gr. MatchKings shoot great in my 22-250.

I have some of the 168 TMKs and 175 TMKs for practice. For deer, I don't see why they wouldn't work, though they may be very destructive. I have always felt that the tiny open tip on straight Match bullets created the odd problems, i.e. pencil through or blow up on the surface. I think that tip over a bigger hollow point with be more consistent. Heck they should work swell on coyotes too! I will try the 168s in a 308 and the 175s as a practice sub for my 175 LRX.

130g ttsx if you want less recoil.
