Please don't use the match bullet for whitetails. While it is accurate, at the ranges you will hunt at, any decent boattailed soft point will expand much better. Try a Sierra game king 165gr bullet instead. If you feel that you must use a hollowpoint for deer, Sierra makes a game king 165gr HP that will expand on deer.
