SGK are of the softer conventional cup and core bullets and thats why one often sees DRT results on game. Eland Shoulder bone and SGK...... well thats up to you, I'm not a fan of their performance on game. Accuracy wise they are damn good.

We prepare ourselves to balance the risk factor with what we have at our disposal. As TS said if you havnt fluffed a shot yet it's comming no matter how good one thinks they are. Bullet placement is key but is NEVER always guaranteed.

You are bashing my beloved Sierras!

I have said it before and I will say it again. When used within their spec as given by the manufacturers, Sierras are simply brilliant. There is certainly a place for super duper bullets but too many people over advocate their use simply by saying std bullets are K@K!
