    I use a 140 gr Sierra SPBT gameking in my 7mm-08. Shoots 2" or less at 200 yds. I hunt axis deer, hogs and goats with it. If they do not drop, they don't run far. I really like the bullet!

    Same results with the 120 and 140 in the 7mm. I personally would have confidence in them. For the money on light skinned game they work.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    You can go to Midway.com, bullets, look up the bullet you are interested in, and read the feedback from "lots" of people.
    I find it very usefull and informitive.
    Some bullets have hundreds of replys, others not so much.
    FYI
    Good luck

    I am currently testing the 129gr Hornday SST in my 260. The load I'm currently at is 45.2g of Reloader 19 Federal 243 necked up. I'm getting close to 2890FPS. I would like to also try H4831sc because I have a bunch of it. I haven't tried it on game.
    They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

    I use a 130 SGK in my .270 Winchester over 48.5 gr of IMR 4064. I have taken 2 8 points ans a doe at 225 to 325 yards in the last 2 years. I have not lost an animal with this projectile and all exited the animal with the exception of a high shoulder shot on a decent buck. The GK lodged in the opposite shoulder but he did not run so no worries. This load is consistent half MOA in a Remy case using a CCI BR-2 primer.

    thanks to everyone for the reply, gamekings have always worked for me but I wondered if this being kind of a medium weight bullet, if it would open up on game like deer.
