[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 1984675, member: 38801"] I only have experience with the 130gr 6.5mm Gamechanger. I will say in apples to apples comparison meaning distance, shot placement, and size of whitetail doe the gamechanger opens much faster than the 130gr HPBT Gameking. The Gamechanger dropped 3 deer on the spot while the gameking 2 deer and 1 pronghorn have run 30-70 yds. Both bullets gave exit wounds with the gamechanger's being two to three times the size (about 1.5-2") of the HPBT. Honestly I prefer the gamechanger but the HPBT might be nicer if I was going after larger bodied deer. Both bullets were shot out of a suppressed 6.5 Creedmoor with below max load of RL16 going 2900fps all deer were shot at <120yds. I think that the 30cal 165gr going 3200fps is going to come apart but I wouldn't worry too much because the deer will be dead if you hit it correctly. Is that overkill? I believe Craig Boddington says something like "I find the concept of overkill to be much harder to grasp than its opposite" [/QUOTE]
