I prefer 150 grain Remington core lokt and I’ve been shooting it for 20+ years. I like the weight retention even when hitting bone. How are these in comparison? I was given 3 boxes.

Gamekings are an excellent bullet. Will get the job done if you put it where it belongs. Sarge

I think you'll like them before I started reloading I shot a lot of Federal ammo the Sierra bullets do well on deer and antelope and one buffalo which is what I've shot the most with them.
And those 150's should work well for you on the moose and bear's .
I'm also a fan of Hornady bullets the interloc bullets work well on the last buffalo I shot also.

Sierra Gamekings are simple cup and core bullets. Nothing special about them except that they are VERY well made and shoot very accurately. I've killed deer, pronghorn, bear, and elk with them. If you need something tougher for perhaps big bears or moose there are better options, but for most applications the Gameking is an excellent choice.

Federal lost me when they started using small primers in their .45 cartridges just to be different. The ammo shoots fine though. I support Hornady as there is a big manufacturing facility in Grand Island NE.

Used them on deer and bear for over 50 yrs with no problems. Should be more accurate than corelokts-always were for me in a remington 700.

Game Kings have become my go to bullet in quite a few calibers from the 223 WSSM to the 458 SOCOM and 30-30 and some in between those. They don't break the bank, are accurate and perform well on game.

They will perform as well or better than core-lokts. Ive shot alot of deer with both of em. Great bullet. However i like a little lighter bullet in a 270. 130gr is what i loaded for my buddy last i believe. He has been laying em down with his 270.

Nothing wrong with them. I feel that in some cases they don’t expand like some other C&C bullets but they shoot well and kill deer just fine. I prefer something that expands a little more violently on thin skinned game like deer. Black bears too. But, when it comes to bigger game, I’d prefer something a little more stout. Having said that, for what you’re doing, I think you’ll like them just fine.


I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."
