[QUOTE="DT400, post: 1688753, member: 76847"] You didn't specify the "X" or "M" version. Personally I wouldn't use a match bullet on game. Will it kill sure, a solid chunk of non expanding iron can kill but not necessarily quickly or ethically. I am more for a quick and ethical kill so I would use a bullet designed for proper expansion on the intended game with-in the design characteristics of the bullet. The "X"'s are said by Hornady to be very good at holding their weight and expanding at "all practical ranges", but doesn't specify what they mean by "practical" My $.01 Darrell [/QUOTE]
