I wish the bullet manufactures would sell small lots of say 20 bullets so we could try them and not have boxes with 75 bullets on the shelf that don't shoot in our rifles. Hope the shoot or I'll have 75 more to store.

They do make a 168 MatchKing, but these Tipped GameKings are infact 165 gr, talked to one of the ballistic technicians at Sierra this morning.

Might have given the 130 .264's a try but for that price they can keep them. I'll stick with Hornady IL's. I know they work.

Why would this be a typo? Maybe not - just seems odd and coincidental to me they'd offer a 165 in a 7mm and a 165 in 30 cal. And no 180 in a 30 cal. I could like a heavier 7mm Sierra bullet................... Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

Count me leery also. I’ve had a few blowups with the older bullets and am a bit gun shy.
