Yes, the 85 gr is a good one. I like it a lot, but, for whatever reason, the Sierra 100 gr pro hunter shoots a little better in my rifle, and is also VERY deadly on deer.

I used to have an old Remington model 788 in 6mm Remington and Sierra 85 gr Gamekings was the DEADLIEST bullet I ever saw in an 6mm. They would also group 5 bullets into .375-.400 all day long. People that I guided for deer invariably reached for it to use instead of their own rifle. I eventually let a friend talk me out of it and still regret selling it.
