This was recovered from a large white tail buck shot at 135yds. The bullet hit a rib on the R side, then deflected to the left at about a 45 degree before stopping in front of the left rear leg, just under the hide. I worked up to a non-book load of 57gn of Superformance from a bolt action 280 Rem (24" barrel). I can't remember the bullet weight, but the buck took less than 10 steps before falling over dead.
Game Kings may not be thought of as great hunting bullets, but I don't think of them like that. The load I've worked up is sub MOA at 400 yards and does exactly what it should vs the deer.
