175 gr SMK
If the round was a Sierra Match King they recommend not using this round for hunting because it doesn't have the expansion of a softer hunting round. See sierra loading manual 5th Edition. Also, if there was residual oil or solvent in the barrel and it was a cold bore shot the point of impact could be affected. A patch run through the barrel with denatured alcohol usually eliminates any residual solvents or oils in the barrel. 175 gr are less effective at shorter ranges out to 300 yds, they are usually used for longer range shooting due to the stability of the heavier round. 168 gr is often used for the shorter ranges and hunting. Hope this helps. Good Hunting!
