Sierra Gamechanger bullets

[mossback91]

Has anybody played with the Sierra game hangers yet?
I got some for Christmas gna load em up in the 280ai.
Sierra bullets have always been super easy to work with for me.

160 accubond on left and 165 sierra on right

[hunter399]

Yes I have loaded some in 243 , But haven't shot anything with them yet.I think with 243 I had to load them over all length same as there Match bullets.Did well in my savage rifle,but not so good in my wife's Mossberg rifle.

Love how competitive the LR market has become, lots of good bullets out there to choose from now

[Oh Mah]

Very nice BC gonna have to check them out for .308 cal. 

I use a lot of sierra bullets between .270 and .300 wm.

Hopefully they come out with some more options with time.... as it sits the only .308 option is a 165gr bullet right now

[Oh Mah]

I see that.    hopefully they come out with at least a 200 grain before to long.

So it's just a tipped game king?

[Oh Mah]

Except Game changer  has around 100 higher BC.

Yep. 

[hunter399]

So it's just a tipped game king?

Yep. 

Nope ,They took a match king and turned it into a hollow point hunting bullet , and calling it a new gameking.
That's why I was getting best accuracy loading them to match king bullets OAL.  That's also how they got such a high BC.You just use match king reloading data when loading .That's what I did anyway.

Yep. 

Them claim they are a reengineered matchking...technically the game king is more like their line of hunting bullets though.... that being said I have the 160hpbt game king  and the 160sbt game king here next to it and it comes closer to resembling the Hpbt but still is not the same shape. I guess I would have to slice them all in half to know more but the BC on the gamechanger is also quite a bit better

Here is a photo I found online for an expansion at different velocities. With the far left being 1800fps I wouldn’t consider them a real long range bullet but should do just fine for my hunting concerns.

Played with them in my 7mm rem mag last weekend and was getting really good accuracy with h1000 loaded to mag length. Hotter loads weren't as good. 2950fps seemed to be the sweet spot in my ruger. Might try some different powder this weekend.
Wonder what happened on that 1800fps bullet..That's far from impressive.

It is a tipped game king. It is not the same construction as the match kings.
You are correct that they didn’t just throw a plastic tip in an existing game king.
Slicker shaped game king with a plastic tip.

They are probably a lot like nosler ballistic tips in performance.
I personally think they missed the boat with their weight offerings to be marketing a “long range” hunting bullet.

I posted the link so you can click on it and read for yourself.
From the link I put down and Sierra website

. Sierra re-engineered their legendary MatchKing bullet into a hollow point design for quick expansion and fitted it with a transparent green tip for ballistic uniformity.

I know you guys don't like to be wrong but at least own up to it.

The box also says tipped game king on it. 

But whatever if you want I’ll say I’m wrong... I’ll also say with the calibers and weights they offer on these they won’t be on my loading bench. Also they aren’t anything new or special.

I will admit I'm wrong too ,if a gameking and a match king was too have a baby you end up with a game changer bullet.
 

This is where I found some load data on it if anybody's interested

Savage they shot fine,the Mossberg they where keyhole on target would not stabilize.I did go with some different bullets for hunting season ,for my wife and sons rifle .

I just hope 399 realizes bullets can’t have babies.....

[hunter399]

Sorry bull I get a little worked up at times.

Rifle calibers have little wildcat babies all the time
Why not bullets

That isn’t a Huntwa appropriate conversation.

[davef]

So it sounds like something new that they slapped with an old name. That's confusing marketing.
I've always liked Sierra game kings so guess I'll give the new "game kings" a chance.

[Oh Mah]

No disrespect to anyone,I mean that.But it doesn't matter to me at all what Sierra is even saying about their new bullet.It is so different than any other bullet they have made so far,it may be made of the same metal but all else is different.The length,the tip,the hollow point,ETC.

If i said that the Glock was a re engineered Colt peace maker to fire in semi auto then that would be a true statement.

This new bullet by Sierra is a brand new (RE ENGINEERED) Bullet and will be of some interest to me if they get some grain in them.At least 200.

JUST MY
