Heard good things about the 65 GK but have never used one, so no help there.


This #275 pig fell to a 63 gr SMP..

Its classified as a varmint bullet but I'm guessing, based on your results, it behaves differently?



Yeah, Dober turned me on to it years ago. I believe he killed his best bear with it out of a .22-250 a 7+ footer

It behaves like a good deer bullet, and is very accurate.


a 70 grain Speer SMP is even more of a good idea...
