My partner swore by the older version of GS bullets in his 280 rem,using 160 gr for everything and it performed very well. However he switched after a poor experience with GS a few years ago on his elk, bullet came completely unglued on a rib shot of 50 yards and required finishing shots. I have heardsome talk/rumors speers changed the process a few yearsback making the GS not what it used to be in terms of terminal performance.

You can take that for what its worth thoughg, asI personally haven't used the GS. I have been pleased with nosler offering and recently the barnes TSX. Hornady has also worked well for me in the past in certain rifles/applications.

What are you wanting it for?

I use the Federal Blue box 30-06 ammo which is loaded with the 150 gr.Speer Grand Slams. I have only used them for Mule deer though. For this, they performed very well. For game bigger than deer in 30 caliber, I like the Hornady interlock in 180 and 190 gr.

I have used the SGS 180 grain bullet in my .30-06 for several years. I have taken five black bears, a red stag, a fallow buck, and a tahr (last three on a New Zealand hunt). All were one-shot kills. The bullets I have recovered had excellent expansion.
