I have read some posts by people who speak as it the Sierra 85 grain hollow point boat tail bullet is a super bullet. I personally don't know, but I've read a pretty long series of posts on this somewhere, and it convinced me. I've got a number of boxes of this factory load -- maybe it is Federal, I don't remember -- using that bullet. It shoots well in my .243. I haven't ever shot anything with it, however. All my hunting for the last 5 years has been elk hunting, and I use a .30-06 180 grain bullet for that.

Has anyone else heard any amazing success stories floated around about the Sierra 85 grain HPBT -- I think it may also be referred to as a "game king."
