    65gr game king, steep (very) downhill shot Spiker totally front on. Approx 80y sitting shot off my knees and elbows took him just above the Adams apple to smash the third bone down from skull to drop on spot and prevent him running or rolling further down a very steep slip face.
    Heart and liver recoverd too.

    I have used 200x 60g Partitions in my 223 and the 65g Gameking performed exactly the same, the wound channel and penetration were identical to each other
