I have finally found a load for my old model savage 110. The load is IMR 4831 65.00 grains with a Sierra 140 grain game king at
3200 FPS and know I am Worried about worried Game Kings that fast And just blowing up on deer at close ranges. Has anyone experienced problems at high-speed with game kings just making sure .

My wife has shot a bunch of deer with Sierra 140 gr pro hunters out of her 7 mag. All have died quickly at rangers from 30 to 300 yards. Put the bullet where it belongs and you will have no problems.

Would not be my first pick, but they will kill.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

We have had them blow up on shoulders with that velocity.
140g Nosler Accubonds are a better choice, they have not blown up on us.
Also
63g of IMR 4350 with a Sierra 150g Pro Hunter, 154g SST, 154g Hornady sp is an awesome killing load
61g of IMR 4831 with a Sierra 160g btsp is the mack daddy load for a 7 Mag, deer just flop, near and far.
The savages that I have owned were all great shooters, but de coppering every 20 rounds is a must. JB and Montana Copper Killer is your friend.
Good luck
