[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3051265, member: 75451"] cajun, I had bad experiences with Sierra Gameking .375 / 300 grain boat tails back in the late ‘80’s. They came apart on every big game animal that I shot, never even giving an exit …..and my game wasn’t that large. I called to and spoke with a representative from Sierra and received a long laundry list of the reasons for the failures…..all BS. They never offered to replace them! I was told by Bob Milek (lived in Thermopolis) to try the Hornady 270 SP. A great bullet that served me well! I shot it into a test medium side by side the 300 Sierra….the Hornady gave a perfect “classic” mushroom. The Sierra seemed to almost evaporate…..able to find only very small pieces of the bullet. Craig Boddington, told me that some of the early production 300’s had issues…..he said that they improved upon them! However, other people have had good luck with other Sierra’s……I’ve sworn to never use another. I never missed not trying any of their bullets again! memtb [/QUOTE]
