Same here as far as shooting more Ballistic Tips for deer. As far as the OP’s choices go, Sierra would be my choice, but I prefer the Pro-Hunter flat base over the Gameking due to more consistent accuracy at the distances I shoot at big game. (300 yds or less) The Pro-Hunter, in my experience anyway, seems to be a little tougher bullet than the Gameking. For whatever the reason, I’ve never gotten the same accuracy with Speer bullets. Also, I have tried and tried to use the often recommended Hornady Interlock in several calibers without the results that others seem to have with that bullet.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
