It also behaves like a big game bullet.

Chrome - mind sharing the load you're shooting out of your SPS Tactical with the 65 grain Sierra Game King? If not the load, then at least the powder? I have the same rifle and just picked up a couple hundred of the 65 grain Sierras at a local shop on the way home tonight. My 11 year loves shooting that rifle and I'm hoping to put him (and likely myself) on some whitetails with the 65s in a few weeks.


Not Chrome, but I put that bullet over 27 grains of Varget in Rem cases with a CCI 400 primer and a COAL .010 short of what will work in an AR mag (I think 2.250 w/o looking it up.) It shoots bug holes out of a 9 twist 700 Remmie XCR/CTR as well as some other rifles with 7 and 8 twists. This is a compressed load, powder comes a little way up the case neck. It chronographs right around 3000 fps.
