I've tried the Matchkings in my .300 Sendaro and believe it or not the Nosler BT's show the best accuracy. I beleive the NBT's have the best ballistic coeffient of any bullet on the market. I shoot 600 yards quite a bit and the Noslers do quite well, I favor the 180 grainer as it drifts less in the wind,noticably less than the 150's.
An added advantage is that the NBT's would make a great deer load ,whereas the MatchKings are for paper punching only. I have yet to whack a deer with my .300, but have time to do so.
I might add that I am pushing the 180 grainer right at 3100fps (chronagraphed)and have exellent accuracy out of a 24" Remington Sendaro. The best so far is 5 3/4 at 600 yards. I know I can do better if the wind ever quits. Half of the fun is getting there.
