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

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

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.

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.
