I know its not the same thing, but about 20 years ago I knew a fellow who used the 165 SBT/30-06 on elk. It came apart, took awhile to worry a big spike bull to death. I had "quietly" tried to persuade him to use the 180 ( my preference was the Pro Hunter spire point Sierra then) but the Gameking would have been swell too. He liked how the 165 shot though and he did get his bull. I think Sierras have been toughened up or something for awhile now. I used the 150 Pro Hunter in a 300 WinMag and they acted like Partitions on little Hill Country deer! ha. 2750 should be the sweet spot for those 180 GK! Have a ball pard!
