How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window.

Product Overview
HSM's Game King 100-grain is the mildest-kicking of the 100-grain .25-06 loads it is compared with, a fit for hunters who want a lead-core bullet with a little less recoil. It is loaded with Sierra's GameKing spitzer boat tail, a pointed lead-core hunting bullet with a tapered base. It leaves the muzzle at 3,100 fps with 2,133 ft-lbs of energy, the slowest start of the 100-grain loads it is compared with.
Compared with Remington's Core-Lokt 100-grain PSP, a plain pointed soft point, the HSM starts 130 fps slower, and the Core-Lokt kicks about 5 percent harder in the same rifle. Both use lead-core bullets, so the choice between them comes down to speed against recoil. Compared with Nosler's Trophy Grade 100-grain Partition, whose copper wall divides the lead core in two, the HSM gives up 200 fps and 284 ft-lbs at the muzzle, and the gap in recoil is wider than with the Core-Lokt.
Buy the HSM if recoil matters more to you than muzzle speed. Pick the Core-Lokt if you want more speed from a lead-core soft point; Remington markets it for big game. Pick the Partition if you want the fastest start of the 100-grain loads, at 3,300 fps, and don't mind the extra kick. If you want a bullet with no lead core, Nosler's Expansion Tip 100-grain E-Tip is a polymer-tipped copper bullet that leaves the muzzle 100 fps faster.
- Kicks about 5 percent less than the Barnes VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX in the same rifle
- Kicks about 7 percent less than the Nosler Trophy Grade 100-grain Partition in the same rifle
- Kicks about 4 percent less than Nosler's Expansion Tip 100-grain E-Tip in the same rifle
- Leaves the muzzle 115 fps slower than Prvi Partizan's 100-grain PSP
- Carries 183 fewer ft-lbs at the muzzle than the Remington Core-Lokt 100-grain PSP
- Has a lead core, where the Barnes VOR-TX 100-grain TTSX is all copper
