I started handloading my ammo in 1954. I used the 150 gr. Sierra Pro-hunters for years, mostly the 150 gr. and later, maybe around 1969 or 70 went to the PH in 180 gr. as I felt the 150 gr. bullets mangled up too much good eating meat on less than perfect shots. In 1973 I switched to the .308 Win. with the 150 gr. PH's but shortly went to the 180 gr. PH, again because of too much meat damage. Close in shots can be pretty drastic.
I finally settled on the 165 gr. Speer Hot Core for the .308 and am using the 165 gr. Nosler Accubond in the 30-06 for deer and elk.
The only game King I use is the 150 gr. bullet in my .270 for deer and antelope and go to the Nosler 150 gr. Partition for elk.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
