Thread: Match vs hunting bullets

As a point of interest I run the same bullet through my 7mm08 and 284.

I've shot 3 deer with the 7mm08 all 50y or less. Which is roughly speaking the same impact velocity as my 284 at 300y. Last one I shot was 35y. Anyway in all instances I get complete expansion and penetration etc etc. The one common theme with both loads is the usual palm sized exit wound and I never recover the projectiles. Bang flop every time. The only difference is the MV between the 2 is 400fps
