I loaded them (sierra pro hunters) hot for my Dad's 300 weatherby with a 200gr pill.  They did fine for elk, not eaxactly the terminal performance I'd have loved, so switched him to Nosler partitions, but they killed everything they hit and shot well also.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

The 180gr and 200gr Sierra Gameking have been made for decades with a tapered jacket designed for .308 bore  magnum cartridges. The old Sierra manual has nice bullet descriptions for type, weight, caliber and intended purpose. I am not sure if the newer editions have this info.
