I have some Sierra 160 gr TMK bullets loaded up in my 7mm WSM that I use for shooting steel. Will they work for Nevada Mule deer ?
+1Don't ruin your hunt with the wrong bullet
I bought some Hornady 162 gr ELD-X bullets . I'b developing a load and using them .
I'm not familiar with those bullets, but if they are a hunting bullet I'm sure they will work fine. Mule deer aren't that hard to kill if hit right. dedogsI bought some Hornady 162 gr ELD-X bullets . I'b developing a load and using them
Yeah exactly!!!.........WAIT! so when a company takes their vld target bullet and puts it in a new box and re names it Hunting vld, is it still a target bullet? or is it somehow magically transformed into a hunting bullet. Or was it also a hunting bullet when it was called a target bullet...........What ever you shooting at use the appropriate bullet. Target bullets are for targets. Hunting bullets are for hunting..
If you showed up in my hunting camp with target bullets when I was a guide, you would not hunt. Unless somebody else in camp had the same caliber in a hunting bullet and was willing to share.None of the guys I guided with(nor I) savoured the idea of chasing down wounded game in the mountains. dedogsI know from personal use of match bullets that they DO perform very well on deer.

The Amax and Berger's both have been my first choice long range game bullets. Love partitions but only out so far. TMKs perform exactly as the Amax.284winner - glad you posted re: the TMK...I will try some for hunting this year. I've had fantastic results hunting with Amax's...the TMK's should perform similarly.
