None in mine...(probably ever.)

Mabye I'll compare with some hunting bullets in penetration tests someday.

It was probably worn out about 20 pages ago, but hey, it's winter in some places so let 'em play.

If Bill T would come back for some kind of special guest appearance it would be right back in the ratings again.IMHO

BTW, Ive been having excellent results using the new 50gr blitzkings in my 22-250 for trophy biggame and dangerous game hunting during several outings over the last year. They seem to work as well or even better than the matchkings I was using in the past.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth from recent experience, and remember, it's all about shot placement.

I too have thought it was wore out some time ago. Been resisting the urge to post there too. But I also was considering trying some matchkings. So I am not entirely immune to the thread.

I don't have the time to sit down and read the whole thread! Perhaps if I were to print it it could take up my light reading time. Let's see, 428 pages to print should be done in time for deer opener.

It was worn out before the first post, I find it hard to believe that anyone would consider using a bullet designed for targets on a game animal....Common since had no play in that post.

I thought the matchking was designed for accuracy. I guess it was just designed to put down those dangerous paper targets.

I'll trust to Saeed's bullet cutaway's and people's personal experiences as opposed to manufacturer's non-tested statements. Manufacturer's would rather have you buy the more expensive bullets b/c XX% profit is greater with an increased price of premium bullets. Therefore a conflict of interest.

The MatchKing thread was worn out after the first page or so.
I wonder if the guys that participated in that e-soap opera have any sort of a life? It seems that all they've been doing for the last two weeks is slamming each other. Hardly leaves any time for any meaningful activities like, shooting, reloading, hunting, etc.
