I only recovered 3 bullets in over 3 decades of hunting big game. Here they are, all Sierra GK BTSP and all resulting from fontal shots with bullets penetrating from bow to stern.

From let to right :
- 7x64, 160 GK,80 m on Muntjac, bullet recovered from ham, 181% expansion - 48 % retained weight ;
- .300 Win Mag, 165 GK, 250 m on red stag, bullet recovered from hide pouch on opposing flank, 204% expansion - 78% retained weight ;
- .30-06, 165 GK, 150 m on roebuck, bullet recovered from hide pouch on opposing flank, 256% expansion - 59% retained weight.

All bullets were used within their envelope of performance and behaved excellently. If a high velocity bullet is wanted, go to the Sierra GK HPBT, which is a true, hard, magnum bullet. An extra bonus is that both bullets are interchangeable and, when loaded the same, shoot to the same POI.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.
