Thread: .270 140 game kings exploding

Out of interest @TeRei, assuming you are talking about the 65gr .224 cal GameKing (and not a typo and its actually the 165gr .30 cal), what is your son’s chosen shot placement on red deer?

Yes interested in answer @TeRei. The 65gr game king looks to be a great economy bullet for goats and fallow deer which I mainly intend to use my .223 for.
@Flyblown the 165gr HPBT 30 cal is a relativity tough bullet as you probably know. Unfortunately my rifle hates it, spewing rounds all over the target...

You would be surprised where the 65gr can anchor a deer including stags. Only issue is during the roar with big wet stags.Their coats seem to become kevlar jackets. However with global warming seems as if they are wearing tee shirts for coats.Mostly in head and neck.With BM2 it is a magical combo.DPT can on spout.
