[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1966929, member: 110467"] [USER=109229]@YZ-80[/USER] do you find the new Gameking as frangible as the ones from the late '70s/early '80s? My first deer rifle from that era was a used Remington 788 in .243 Win and we loaded up lots of 85gr Gamekings. I lost a lot of meat on deer in Texas from those bullets blowing up. Most shots were in the 100-200 yard range. When my brother started hunting, he got the .243 and I got a .270. The 130gr Gamekings didn't seem to be so frangible and my brother became the meat destroyer in our family. Just curious on your experience. I will admit that dead is dead, but I like the experience I've had with the Barnes at closer ranges better than with the Sierra. [/QUOTE]
