[QUOTE="Corey Schwanz, post: 1016150, member: 85383"] Couple different topics here and some good discussion! As for the "match" grade bullets, the term match from our standpoint means consistency and quality not necessarily competition vs hunting. Even our hunting bullets are "match grade" as we try to keep them uniform as possible. As said earlier, there are more factors to bullet design and application than just the tip design. On the hunting shot placement side, I don't think there is a "best". I personally prefer the main heart/lung area behind the shoulder. Its a larger area that gives me more margin of error in case a shot is pulled or something happens in the heat of the moment (we are all human and "buck fever" is real!). I can see the benefits of head shots but I just don't like the smaller target area and the fact the head of a deer can move erratically, much more so than the body will. Just personal preference. No matter what shot you prefer, if you can execute it by putting the bullet into the vitals (heart/lung/brain) at least 9 out of 10 times, then you should be good to go!
