Just to clarify I'm not planning on using the custom competition bullets to hunt they do shoot really well in my gun though. I'm deciding on which bullet I want to use for hunting. I have used them in the past but when they were used the only shot taken was a head shot. I personally prefer head shots, generally the animal is standing still, no adrenaline and i don't make soup out of the horns anyway so I don't care about that. I want a quick clean kill and i don't like to track critters after the shot. I know it can and does happen though. The purpose of this is to find a good accurate bullet that will work well for me if the opportunity for the head shot doesn't present itself. Give the chance I will be taking the best shot for a clean kill, I just want to expand the opportunities.

Basically a lightweight Howitzer

Identical to my experience with ELDx bullets out of a 270 on two deer. They turned into a grenade when they hit the first strand of hair, I immediately relocated the remainder of the bullets into the garbage can where they belong. As far as I'm concerned they're a match bullet that has a different colored tip for marketing purposes.

Well of the bullets you have listed I would not hesitate to use the 165 sgk. I usually load 180 or 200 grain in my 300 wby for elk but have used the sierras to kill deer, sheep and caribou at up to your 600-yard limit. They would certainly work and give reliable results.
