    I tried 69, 77 and 80gn SMK on game and parked that idea for anything other than varmints permanently.
    Even a hare I shot with the 69s got up and ran away, straight through the poor thing.
    75gn Amaxes were good for everything, but good luck single feeding an AR15 for each shot, it was bad enough with the Sako .223, couldn't extract a live round, as too long!

    The 65gn Gamekings are my go to hunting round in the Sako and my AR15.
