I'm aware of incidents regarding bullet blowups with some Sierra bullets, but does anyone have hunting experience with the .30 caliber 200 grain GameKing on elk? I tried a variety of bullets this morning in a heavy-barrel Remington 700 5R in .300 Winchester Magnum. Initial accuracy results were very good with the 200 GK. One of the other bullets I tried was the 180 ProHunter; good accuracy, but not quite as good as the 200 GK.
I've never hunted elk but what I read here tells me the Nosler Partition is your friend. I use SGK 200s in my .30-06 for deer and hogs. I shot one hog just below the tail and it came out pretty much in tact just under the skin at the brisket. So if that's all I had I wouldn't feel under gunned.
The only regular hunting bullets I ever had blow up were the old Nosler Ballistic Tips. But those were the old ones and they've improved them big time now.
