What is the best 30-06 bullet to reload with for whitetail deer? I am shooting about 100yds.

That's quite a different definition of "close in" than I'm used to.Doug b said:...for close in work(under 500 yds)...
We are talking about the 30-06 here aren't we. 100 yrds is pistol range imho.sumpnz said:That's quite a different definition of "close in" than I'm used to.
I can see you never put one through the front shoulders @ 2800 fps (explosive), actually I stop using them because I was loosing to much meat and went with the 165 Nosler Ballistic tip. According to a rep at Sierra these rounds do much better on larger tougher game like elk and moose.Match Kings are not designed for hunting...No target bullet is designed to expand as it should when it hits game. It is designed to go straight and make small round holes and that's all...

I didn’t say they recommended it.I SERIOUSLY doubt that Sierra is recommending their MatchKing bullets for any game animal, large or small.
The person I talked to simply said he knows a lot of people who used this round on larger game with good success; that it would expand better on tougher game like elk and moose. I found that it was an over kill within 50 yard or so especially if you hit bone.According to a rep at Sierra these rounds do much better on larger tougher game like elk and moose.
