    Sierra Gameking 85gr hpbt 6mm


    I've used the above bullet in my 243 for deer over the last two seasons. It came recommended by others for that purpose and emails with a Sierra engineer confirmed it's purpose for that. 4 deer and several hogs have been felled by that round this season, all at different velocities due to both the load and the range and I did not get a single exit wound. None ran far, but little blood was left to follow had they made the thicket. Is there anyone else who has had this experience? Anyone getting exits with this bullet?

    Have used this bullet for decades for deer, javalina, coyotes, etc. The 85gr HPBT is not made for pass through exit wounds. It is a deadly, superb bullet in it's correct niche and has become almost legendary for it's performance in the 243. Look at your own results...none made it to the thicket. Right?
