First Time With Sierra Game King

Zen Archery · June 13, 2020, 07:52 AM

I typically stay away from Sierra bullets for hunting. They had a history of expanding very rapidly, which I do not prefer for hogs.
Since someone shipped me a box of these I gave them a run and was impressed. Even though this was a small sow, it blew right through her and melted her in the dirt. Gonna give the 140s a burn soon.

I like the current long heavy SGKs for .30 calibers and lower.
Probably the toughest cartridge on bullets is my 270W.
I've not had any bullet failures on deer, hogs or coyotes.
Also the accuracy is a real plus, too.

About every Sierra rifle bullet I've worked with has displayed outstanding accuracy. I'm a big fan of the Pro-Hunter .30/150 spitzer in .308 Win and the .30/180 RN, loaded mildly in the '06, for whitetails. Unfortunately, Sierra has quit making two other of my favorites, the .270/115, and the .30/135 SSP (single shot pistol).

I had very good success on hogs with factory Federal Premium .260 using the 140 SGK.
