Has anyone used these? Got any opinions you want to share?
I finally got some to try them out. I had some issues with (crenellated) gamekings feeding properly in my M1A, and the last time I hit a buck with one it went right through without fragmenting (though he fell down stone dead 20 yards away, so I didn't feel that bad). I've hit a couple of hogs with sierra matchkings, and they just fly right on through, though I haven't managed to hit a solid bone with one.
For comparison, the SMKs I was shooting at pigs were 168 gr with 39.5 gr IMR 4895 running about 2400 fps. Should be plenty to drop a hog if you get it near the vitals, even without fragmentation.
