Anyone here hunts big game with match bullets? If you have pictures of the wound channel or organ damage, please share. Came across this article which got me researching this.

They'll do the job on deer sized game.
Wouldn't be trusting this "explosive" expansion on anything bigger.

The article talks about deer at 100 yards - any cheap cup and core bullet will do that just fine too, so i don't see the point. If he was talking about hitting a moose or elk like the hammer of thor,that would be one thing, but he's talking about little ol' bambi.
 
Match/target bullets are engineered with precision over everything, if that means they will disintegrate on impact or fail to expand, who cares? As long as the go through a piece of paper. Sure, anything that you send at 3000 fps at a deer will probably kill it but there are tons of bullet specifically engineered for hunting, that's what I prefer to use.

Not sure why you would make that assumption from the question. Does not really have anything to do with what I will do, because I did not ask if it works! I asked if anyone in the forum has experience using them, and to share photographic samples if they have any.

So to be clear, that is all I am asking.
