Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Anyone Using Sierra Game Changers on Deer?

You can eat right up to the hole!

Or people could learn how to shoot, and blow softball-sized holes through the lungs.

Your choice. It's never been that difficult to figure out. Maybe you should stick with the monometal bullets.

I don’t know why our opinion on this being too soft of a bullet offends your sensibilities so bad but nobody asked for your advice. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, or go pound sand... whatever works best for you but learn to chill a little.. what we do shouldn’t bother you so bad. The OP asked about this bullet. We shared a mutual buddies experience and our opinions.. that’s it..

I’ve now killed the following with 130SGC’s @ 2800fps via 260 Rem:

Bull elk @ 527yds - 2 shots behind shoulder (1 pass through and 2nd under offside hide w nice mushroom) bull made it 10ft
Muley buck @ 490yds - pass through, drt
Muley buck @ 248yds - pass through, made it 20yds
Large boar black bear @ 75yds -broke on-side shoulder and pass through, 20yds
Doe antelope @ 350ish - pass through, drt
Doe antelope @ 300 - pass through, drt

Most accurate and consistent on game performance I’ve ever had out of a bullet. Acts like an AccuBond with a better BC.

Shot another 4x4 Mule Deer yesterday with a 130GC @ 2700 fps. Off hand shot the deer at about 50 yards quartering hard away. Hit the point of the ham and blew a hole about the size of a baseball through it, entered behind the ribs and never found the bullet. Deer took off, definitely hit hard but still going. Shot him in the neck with the next shot and lights out. When skinning him out the lungs and pretty much anything ahead of the diaphragm was still intact. First deer I shot was textbook, this one has me questioning them. I have shot deer from that angle before (albeit with a 30-06) and 150gr Interlocks that would have penetrated well into the chest cavity. The end result was a dead deer so I shouldn't complain too much I suppose.
