To SwampCollie: I totally agree with you. I am also a hunter who shoots at the front shoulder, not behind it. My goal is to break the deer down on the spot(which is what I believe you are doing). We load several .243's and 100 grain bullets that completely break a deer down, when the deer is shot in the front shoulder. Is it your belief that a 120 grain from a 7-08 will not hold together(my dad had a 7-08-it's in my safe now)? I am pretty sure the GameKing's will hold together.

My complaint with the more expensive bullets is simple. They ****me off. They do not cost any more to make. They are just enjoying a successful marketing campaign. Why else would they have to come out with new bullets every several years(Barnes and Nosler)??? It is the same with the ammo manufactures. They come out with new bullets and cartridges for one reason only-new sales. I am not saying that is a bad thing. But why do they have to charge that much more??? Have you seen the price of 30-378 Weatherby Ammo???

I guess it is the American Way!!! Fortunately for me I have seen it before.

I am not attacking the long running Partition bullet. It is a fantastic bullet. But not necessary for 99% of the shooting hunter's do. I would consider it for heavy dangerous game, but I do not hunt heavy dangerous game. Tom.
