As already mentioned "match" ammo is not designed as a hunting round. Certainly a 168 gr. , 30 cal. match bullet at high velocity can kill thin skinned medium game. I use a 308 Win almost exclusively. Try a 165 gr. Sierra Game King, Hornady SST , Speer Grand Slam or Nosler Partition. I have used all 4 from time to time . Each does a good job. For white tail, the Game King is a fine choice. Excellent BC for long range accuracy and holds up well enough for close shots too.
