need feedback on sierra 6.5, 130 grain gameking, accuracy, results on game
I use a 140 gr Sierra SPBT gameking in my 7mm-08. Shoots 2" or less at 200 yds. I hunt axis deer, hogs and goats with it. If they do not drop, they don't run far. I really like the bullet!
Same results with the 120 and 140 in the 7mm. I personally would have confidence in them. For the money on light skinned game they work.Quote:

I find it very usefull and informitive.
Some bullets have hundreds of replys, others not so much.
FYI
Good luck
I am currently testing the 129gr Hornday SST in my 260. The load I'm currently at is 45.2g of Reloader 19 Federal 243 necked up. I'm getting close to 2890FPS. I would like to also try H4831sc because I have a bunch of it. I haven't tried it on game.
I use a 130 SGK in my .270 Winchester over 48.5 gr of IMR 4064. I have taken 2 8 points ans a doe at 225 to 325 yards in the last 2 years. I have not lost an animal with this projectile and all exited the animal with the exception of a high shoulder shot on a decent buck. The GK lodged in the opposite shoulder but he did not run so no worries. This load is consistent half MOA in a Remy case using a CCI BR-2 primer.
thanks to everyone for the reply, gamekings have always worked for me but I wondered if this being kind of a medium weight bullet, if it would open up on game like deer.
