Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting question about sierra gameking performance on deer

Worrying about lead in your venison seems silly, considering all the upland birds consumed across the country. I'd be willing to bet every birdhunter has found some shot in their quail/pheasant supper which they missed during dressing their birds. Haven't heard of rampant lead poisoning in those areas. Just my two cents.

I still use 160 gr RN in my 6.5x55 and they hold together well. I also use the 140 gr SP in my 6.5x50, but sometimes they seem to tumble end over end on frontal shots. I don't know if I like that or not, but I always got the deer.
