[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 23952, member: 25"] Darryl, You have a good point - Sierra makes some of the best bullets period. I am always amazed that they can make so many gadjillions of match bullets with such uniformity - can you imagine how many 168 .30 cal. Matchkings they must pump out in a year! Personally, I feel that their match bullets set the standard that others must strive to "match". I cannot say that about all of their hunting bullets - have had some that broke-up and shed cores on deer. Funny thing, seems if a person has an example of bullet failure(s) then he tends to black-ball that brand from then to eternity. I haven't hunted with Gamekings ever since some blew apart, but thinking about it, that was about 15-18 years ago... I am willing to bet that Sierra fixed that particular bullet's tendency to shed cores but I haven't tried to find out - went to another maker. One fact is that there are a lot of really good bullets on the market so it is easy to find a favorite performer. Hope you are having a good hunting season, we don't have any snow and it doesn't seem like hunting season. Unseasonably warm but ugly winds every day makes for crappy hunting. [/QUOTE]
