Hi model70,

My experience with the Gameking was not good so now I try to avoid using them. Although it's not alway possible as actually getting expanding bullets can be tricky at times here.

I used a 180Grn GK in my .308 to take my first ever Deer which was a Roe Doe at a range of about 90 yards. The load was taken from Hogdgons #26 book and I chose the mid-range loading, accuracy was fairly good but the bullet blew up on the nearside rib of the 35lb Doe. Yes that's right 35lbs, the bullet did penetrate through and blew out 3 ribs from the offside. We found jacket metal and lead from the core in the chest cavity when cleaning the carcase/. Sure the Doe dropped on the spot but seeing as a 180Grn .308 bullet would be expected to be used on much larger game like Moose and Elk I couldn't feel confident relying upon one after seeing this.

I do have several boxes of 140Grn HP GK bullets in .277" they were all I could get, given a choice I use Hornady then Speer.

Good luck!
