Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles .257 90grn Sierra Blitzking

Is anyone loading these, and what are you loading them for?

Interesting looking BC for the weight class at .388, and can achieve some fast speeds.

Anyone loading them for varmints or target shooting? Bigger game?

Sort of. I've put a half box through my Kimber Montana .257 Roberts. The gun is twitchy about loads. Seems to shoot this bullet pretty accurately with 41 to 41.5 grains of IMR 4064. I haven't done anything but shoot paper with it so far.

I'm thinking coyote, rock chuck, jack rabbit. I have rimfires and a .204 for the smaller fuzzies.

I'm also real interested to see how the 70 grain Blitzking does. Got a couple boxes, haven't loaded any yet.

I loaded some in my 250 Savage for a young man to learn to shoot with in a savage model 14 rifle. The plan was to practice with the 90gr bullets and shoot his deer with the 117gr bullets I had loaded for him.
Well one thing led to another and the 90gr Sierra was chambered on the deer hunt for a 150 yard mule doe. Dad ( my friend) was there for supervision and junior touched off 1 shot right in the boiler room, Deer went 25 yards and fell over. medium sized Albera doe, a 175 lb animal. My frind is field dressing and texts me a pic of the lungs, the damage this 90gr bullet did inside this deer was fairly close to unbelieveable. Just bought 300 more of these bullets to test out in the Roberts next... FS

Is there also a 90 grain Game King available?

I've found this bullet to be very accurate with minimal load development in a Ruger .250 Savage and a Kimber .257 Roberts. Never used it on game.

I found the best accuracy in mine using the 90BK with Varget.

Yes it's a HPBT.

In some circles it's known as the deadliest bullet available for deer in the .25 caliber. powdr
