Well said MacDR!!!

This whole discussion may have just been trumped by the passage and signing of AB711 which will ban the use of lead-containing bullets for hunting across the entire state. The courts may determine that all or part of the law does not meet constitutional standards, but it is clear that the prices of hunting ammunition will rise.

Bottom line for the thread title is that, yes the MatchKing has been used as a game taker with some degree of success and NO, it is not recommended by either the manufacturer or folks who know how bullets work on impact and penetration. Purpose-designed hunting bullets should be used on medium game and larger animals.
