Found some Sierra Tipped Game Kings (TGK) for a decent price and ordered some 90gr for my 243 and some 130gr for the Creedmoor. Haven't shot the 243 yet but my M18 Mauser likes the 130's. So far I have tested them on a couple of does. One was 50-60 yards. I took her at the point of her shoulder and it exited behind the off shoulder. She made it about 30 yards, but I will never know how. She left a blood trail that a blind man could follow. The exit hole was the size of a golf ball with the top of the heart and arteries gone.
The second one was 125 yards broadside. Once again the top of the heart was gone and a large area of lung mushed. That one hit the ground hard and never moved. Exit hole was about the size of a golf ball with the off shoulder demolished. These bullets are about the equivalent of a Nosler BT in upset. Fast expansion. I was pushing it with 40 grs of R 17.
