Sierra GameKings were my bullet of choice in the .30-06 for many years because of their accuracy and impressive performance. I loaded them down to mid-range velocities to limit their explosive effect and got sterling results- a necessity if your like me and only hunt the thick stuff where a 100 yard shot is a long one, for a bullet designed to perform at longer ranges (loaded to the max they are almost explosive on 40 yard targets). Even though I switched to cast bullets for the bulk of my shooting long ago, I still keep a couple boxes of 165 HPBT's on hand for one particular '06. They have never let me down.
