DF,
I had read somewhere that the 215 SGK is a softer bullet. I have never been much of a Sierra user, so never tried them. Would really like to hear from someone that has used these in the field on deer-elk size game.

Being a looney, I was just studying bullet availability in 225gr and up last night. Just in case my new Safari 338-06 does not like the 210gr Barnes T/TSX. Thinking very hard on the Hornady 225 or 250gr IL, or maybe 225gr GMX. Then there is always the NPT or bonded? Decisions, decisions, decisions. crazy

But every time I start leaning towards a lead based bullet in heavier weight I loop back to the 200-210gr mono's, since they will penetrate just as deeply. So I really hope the 200-210gr mono's shoot.
