Sierra game king soft point.
It’s the ideal Texas hunting bullet IMO.
It’s fragments pretty good liquefying the insides of a big buck or pig but it’ll still poke through the biggest boar shoulder before doing so. Shoot in the head and it’ll make some serious carnage. Might not always leave an exit wound on a big pig or buck shoulder but I’ve also not had one take a step since I’ve moved to the bullet.
If you’re wanting long range the blackjacks have a good rep but I’ve also heard they are impossible to find now

Which grain?
Doesn’t matter, which ever your barrel prefers. I trend towards the lighter weights for hunting but I’ve used them in 24, 27 and 30 cals and they all act the same.
The non soft points with the sorta closed tips are for elk etc so they don’t expand so soon. But the game king has the same match king forgiving ogive and sorta thick jacket but with a nice expansion inviting lead point.
It’s also one of the easiest bullets to find a load for across the board for me.

perfect thx
Not a 25 creedmoor but I’m using nosler 110 accubonds in my 257 AI 1:7.5 twist
I took two deer last year with the 131’s and they performed amazinf
I was looking for a balance of low recoil vs high BC and enough bullet weight for me to feel comfortable shooting elk. The 25 creedmoor was what I settled on. I’m shooting the 131gr blackjack with a .340 G7 at 2950fps.
The rifle has very low recoil and is super accurate. I’ve been very happy so far. The ballistics beats out 6.5 creedmoor.
