    interesting mix Cigar. Depends are you a believer in penetrate and blow up with full energy dumped in the chest or do you like a pass through and blood trail. My experience with the 87 gr berger is that the base will end up under the skin on the off side on larger animals but on smaller animals (Goats Fallow Hinds) you end up with a large and messy set of exit wounds.
    The 85 Grain GK will also blow up in the chest but the base holds together and is more likely to exit.
    I have not used the prohunter or gmx but would assume they would be better suited to deep penetration or tough game (pig shields) where the GK or Berger would require careful shot placement to get around the shield and penetrate vitals.
