Ive use match bullets for hunting quite a bit, but stick to the tipped variants. SMKs have killed a lot of....stuff....but they arnt consistent performers from what ive read. The only time i used them was years ago from my 06 and they usually pencil holed, unless put square into bone.....or at least thats what i remember.
Ive also used 69gr hornady bthp match bullets from my 223 with success, but switched to the 65gr sierra game kings eventually.
The older berger match bullets i believe were thinner jacketed, which actually became the "Hunting" versions now sold. The newer Match bullets have a heavier jacket.....or at least thwts what ive gleaned from my reading.
The animals ive shot with them have all splatted pretty good.
