Several years ago I bought a box of 168gr hornady match bullets to try out of my 30-06. Darn things shot awesome so I thought I would give them a try hunting. Shot 6 deer with them, every single bullet came apart. Only one was shot threw the shoulder, the rest threw the lungs. I found all 6 deer, but wasnt happy with the bullets performance so I stopped using them. Have to admit some dropped in the tracks like they were struck by a lighting bolt and the internal damage was unbelievable, but I want a bullet that holds together and gets complete penetration on game.
