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

So it's just a tipped game king?
Yep. :tup:
Post by: hunter399 on January 04, 2019, 08:05:56 AM
Nope ,They took a match king and turned it into a hollow point hunting bullet , and calling it a new gameking.So it's just a tipped game king?
Yep. :tup:
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.

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

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.Nope ,They took a match king and turned it into a hollow point hunting bullet , and calling it a new gameking.So it's just a tipped game king?

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.

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.

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.The box also says tipped game king on it. :dunno:I posted the link so you can click on it and read for yourself.It is a tipped game king.

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've always liked Sierra game kings so guess I'll give the new "game kings" a chance.
Post by: Oh Mah on January 04, 2019, 09:21:17 PM
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 :twocents:
