I am looking for a bullet that closely approximates the ballistics of a .30 168 gr. Sierra Matchking to deer hunt with. I am looking at the .30 165 gr. Sierra Gameking HPBT and the 165 gr. Ballistic Tip. Have any of you taken deer sized game with either of these bullets. Do you have any other suggestions keeping in mind that I want to be close to the 168 gr Matchking?
