[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1663932, member: 109229"] Well, to my surprise the other day I opened up my reloading cabinet and realized that the 85 grain HPBT (Sierra #1530) was actually a Gameking, so I’m going to try them this fall on a crop damage doe and see how they do. I had developed a load for them in my Cooper Custom Classic and have obliterated groundhogs with this bullet, so it should perform well on deer I figure. Personally, I don’t have any qualms about trying something like a 168 grain match on game. You don’t necessarily need a wide wound channel to kill. Violent shock/cavitation come into play too and should be a consideration IMHO. [/QUOTE]
