[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1599187, member: 9308"] You have it correct - dead is dead. With your .338 Lapua, you are pushing those Game Kings faster than they were originally engineered for (.338 Win Mag velocities) and having been hog hunting, I'm betting your shots were at 100 yards or less? So they are hitting that hog FAST, penetrating and coming apart inside Mr. Porker, and a bit of lead keeps going and exits (which is great.) So the Game Kings were a great choice for the hogs. And they'll be great for deer and antelope, too. But they will NOT be great for bigger things (elk, moose, bears, etc.) and the other recommendations you are getting would be better for those critters (Hammer, Barnes, Accubond, Partition, etc.) [/QUOTE]
