Yeah, finding them can be a challenge.

I had some on hand, loaded them, was surprised how well they shot.

Took them deer hunting, pleasantly surprised how well they performed.

I generally don't think "Sierra" when considering deer bullets, but these perform pretty well, exceeded my expectations.

Now, for tougher stuff, I'd probably go with tougher bullets. But, these are tough enough for local WT's and hogs.

To the detriment of their BC, this configuration of the Game King is relatively blunt, with a fat ogive. For my use of the .308", 165 grain version this means I can hang more of the full diameter portion of the bullet out in front of the case mouth without exceeding the magazine length limit. My theory is this aids alignment in the chamber throats and better groups follow.

For my uses the lower BC doesn't amount to much.
