Is the Sierra match king 175 gr bullet okay for deer hunting?

It’s a bullet really made for shooting paper. Not bonded to the core. Still okay?

I ended up finding something different. Thanks

Lol it'll kill the shite out of a deer, yall talking about expansion like he's moose or grizzly hunting.

Unless you're hunting 300# monsters you're fine.

I don't think you'll have a exit problem with that. Solid bullet and should have very little expansion.

Its fine for deer. They are pretty thin jacketed and basically a re-branded target bullet similar to any other match bullet minus the hollow point. They have shot better than anything else in the half dozen rifles I have tried them in. The deer I have shot with them showed violent expansion/fragmentation and bang-flops.

I'm assuming you are shooting a 7 mag? If so, that's probably the perfect deer bullet for that caliber. Its heavy enough to mostly hold together and still drive deep

Yea but the guy is shooting deer with (i assume) a 7 mag and 175gr bullets.

Funny, I edited my post. I assumed he was shooting a .308.

.308 sorry

Those 175 grain were all I could find. Got lucky and found the Barnes bullet I normally shoot on midway

Would never have considered the Sierra bullet for hunting if not for this bullet shortage

Very nasty violent kills with 2 exit holes on the first one and about 10 on the 2nd one.

Sounds like the kind of shite you need to load in your personal defense guns.

Yea they would be nasty for that use. The deer I shot with them were very fricked up. Far too much destruction for me, it looks like you put a grenade inside the deer. One had busted guts and I hit it right behind the shoulder perfectly broadside. Red meat jello and bones and guts and stuff everywhere.

The core is very soft. The exposed tips get all buggered up really easily but it doesn't seem to affect how they shoot. I always recommend trying them if you have a rifle that doesn't seem to like anything you try. They have been the most accurate "hunting" bullet in every rifle I've tried them in.
