[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2950736, member: 106845"] For what it’s worth, a close friend I hunt with used the TGK this season on whitetails and has shot four so far. They all ran and a couple took a second shot. And none were more than 150 yards. I’m just not a big fan of how little the TGK expands vs the TMK. Not enough resistance from a whitetail to help either. If you use the TGK, lighter for caliber is best and some extra impact velocity helps too. He was using the 165gr in a 308. That bullet in a 300wm or similar cartridge would have been better, or a 175gr TMK (or heavier) in the 308. [/QUOTE]
