Hornady "Match" bthp uses?

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Hornady 75gr is absolutely effective on 150-200lb deer under 200yds; but it will spoil a lot of meat and you won’t be doing any Texas heart shots.

As for cannelure effecting reliability, when you feed bullets into a military semi-auto at near max OAL and high velocity, keeping the bullet from getting pushed back in the case will definitely enhance your end user experience.

While on their website it doesn't say that it does well at anything other that target shooting.

Well, yeah, that's what a match is, a target shooting competition! What did you think "match" means? Like a Blue Tip match?

"75 grain match bthp ammo "
I don't own any of this ammo and have no use for it. Definitely not deer hunting ammo.

It'll drop ground hogs and coyotes very well. So will my handloads using a 75gn OTM

If you handload, .224 bullets are cheap and there's no reason to use target or varmint bullets on deer. It's a marginal deer round to begin with, requiring expert shot placement, so get the best deer bullets/cartridges available, hunt where you can get clear shots, shoot at reasonable ranges (under 200 yards) and confine shots to the heart/lung area. Pass up angle shots.
