I've recently been shooting 117 Sierra GameKings(w/H4350) in my Bob and they shoot very well, right around MOA out to 400 yards. Don't think I've ever shot a deer with a SGK but imagine it will work just fine.


Have a 257 Rbts and have used 117g SPBT from both Sierra and Hornady for over 20 years and taken whitetails with both. Both work well.

Both bullet shoot best for me with H4831 and the 117g SPBT, but I have 24 inches of barrel on my Roberts.
