Re: FGMM 175 on Game
If you want to use a match bullet on game, I would suggest the Hornady Amax bullets.

Re: FGMM 175 on Game
I've probably opened a BIG can of mixed opinions. I done a test today on a mix of old telephone books and old magazines and had about 8" of penetration, a lot of fragmintation, about 60%-70% of the jacket in one piece and a total of 103 gr.of component that I recovered shot from 50 yds. I was curious if it would have about the same effect on game.

Skip the SMK's and go straight to the Berger VLD's. Everyone knows Match Bullets are the best for hunting, yes, even better than Barnes
WN Sits back with arms crossed waiting...................

Those pesky phone books can be hard to cleanly kill, even with an SMK

Re: FGMM 175 on Game
Fe1, take a look at this:
http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1305842&page=1
Look at the guy ElkHuntingGuide's pics on pg 4, and Jeffbirds pics on pg 2.
FGMM will work just fine.

Re: FGMM 175 on Game
what the fuck did that phone book ever do to you? Do you plan on eating it? If not then why kill it?

Happy to help man. Otherwise...
CKA wouldve goaded someone into making an ass of themselves. Greg would have given another very short and concise answer. Shankster wouldve posted a disturbing pic. LL wouldnt have had his DD214 in his wallet like he's supposed to. Wil wouldve told someone to shut up. EHG wouldve said "fuck" a lot. JLM wouldve ended up ass shooting a family pet to prove a point. Humble wouldve posted a Merkel pic that was new and exciting. Jasonk would have warned 858 to behave. 858 wouldntve behaved. ChadTRG42 wouldve actually responded to the question like a civilized human being, just to make the rest of us look bad. And, finally, 7 pages later, we'd still be at the same damned disagreement.

only about 50 yards away from a 12' tripod. Entry was high right shoulder and exit was low left shoulder. I usualy stick them in the neck but thought, what the hell. </div></div>

Re: FGMM 175 on Game
Not the 308 175 matchking, but I shot one medium sized doe last year with the 7mm 175 matchking and it performed beautiful. Bullet size in-thru the heart-and golfball size or just a hair bigger coming out. Only about 100 yds. I could have just got lucky with that 1 bullet though.

Re: FGMM 175 on Game
this topic always gets the most interesting comments so whenever I see it pop up I have to go and read it to get a great laugh.
Barnes TTSX and Accubonds are hard to beat but if you have to use "the other match" bullets the AMAX is next best choice. Yes, i have killed deer with all the above bullets. I am about killing and more importantly, keeping from getting an ugly mess inside that I have to clean up and cut around
Love the comments keep them coming... makes me laugh and I need that sometimes.
