[QUOTE="el si, post: 438932, member: 25700"] I shot a mule deer with the 30-cal 200gr GameKing this year. I got quite the surprise. The previous day the deer were at 680 yards, so I traded the 30-06 with 180gr Partitions for the 300 RUM expecting long range shooting. Well a buck walks out at 132 yards so I drill him. With a MV of 2990 fps, I was expecting bullet fragments but what I got surprised me -- big holes in the deer. One going in and one going out. No jacket or lead fragments. No bullet recovered as it passed through. I will say that the exit point also surprised me. I hit him square on the left side behind the shoulder and the bullet exited by the spine. Broke his back and he tried to paddle away on two front legs. I was using the Sierras because all other 200gr bullets were out of stock earlier this year when I was load developing. I had planned to use AccuBonds, but I may just stick with the Sierra 200gr GameKing especially after reading what LTLR said about them. [/QUOTE]
