Thanks Nathan, I might have to give them a crack! I don't think I would plan on using this rifle for pigs in the dense bush anyway. If I was going for pigs with it, it would likely be across a paddock. I've always got the 45-70 for heavy scrub work.

I see what you're saying Scott about starting at the top and working down. I have a box of 208gr eld-ms that I'm yet to try so I will likely start with those as my heavies. I just don't think it would be suitable for Roos at longer ranges across paddocks, but I don't know yet.
The thought with this lighter tmk load was that I could have the speed to bang flop kill fallows in the bush so they don't run into the forrest at all, but also be able to peg them and roos and smaller edible pigs across paddocks at longer ranges. The heavy load might do this just as well, I guess I just need to experiment. Roos have very light framed torsos though.

I've had a look on sierras website and in the info section for the tipped game kings, it refers to them as game changers, which Nathan mentioned in the webinar. The website says that its a controlled expanding bullet and sounds similar to the eld-x or sst.
