BC,
Called Sierra about the gamekings. He claims that the gamekings are more than adequate for black bears and even elk sized game. The tech, Jeff, claims that the president of the company went hunting for grizzly bears and took a box of the gamekings right off the shelf. Claims that he hit the bear through both shoulders and the bullet remains in Alaska. He says that the bullet can come apart but the game is down.
Don't know which way to go but I'm going to get a box to see how they shoot.

Wow, they are still singing this song and dance?? Yea, thier tech support guys have been doing all they can to sell the idea that thier bullet is tough. Even taking out comparison mag ads. Proof is in the pudding
Hey man, its your bear. I just know of a few deer I have killed where it didn't make it thru one shoulder. I just know I made it thru two moose shoulder with a X.
I still use the gameking on deer and careful shots at that. They are simple thin jacketed bullet that usually shoots well in anything.
I was once complainign about the price of A-frames and someone (on this board) brought it to my attention, I am paying 4K to hunt moose, and I am worried about 50 dollars for the ammo. Really put things in perspective.
I agree to the whole $50 of ammo thing, but I've spent a lot more than that so far. I'm having fun but I just wish those dang Partitions would have shot well. This gameking thing is really bugging me. I'd hate to think that tech support would be filling my ear with a crap. For the price of the bullets I'm going to pick them up anyway. Hopfully one of the interbonds or accubonds will shoot good.
