The Federal Premium, with that Sierra Matchking Hollow Point Boattail, will cause some of the grisliest distruction you will ever see-- but it behind the front shoulder in the soft spot, and prepare yourself when you walk up to your prize. It will be incredible.
For some reason, Federal doesn't list this as one of their game rounds. It's listedas atarget shooting round. Can anyone advise why?
Simple! Per Sierra,Matchkings are target bullets, and not game bullets. Since they are sometimes used in sniper ammo, they cannot be "hunting" (read "expanding") bullets. That's a no-no! So Matchking bullets are NOT designed to be expanding bullets. If one does expand every now & then, well who can say what any individual bullet might do when it hits something??
