Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 30 Cal 125 Grain Sierra Gamechangers

Gents,

I’m considering trying a box of the above bullets in my .308 Win. Has anyone had any luck with them out of an 11 twist barrel?

Thanks,

Tim

The problem is that shooting in England the past 40 years, every shot (and everything else) is quickly pulled to the left, and you can only hit the target if it is white. I doubt your experience will be any different.

So what does that have to do with Camilla, Fish n Chips and wonky teeth?

i bought a box and called sierra to get a max velocity....tech said 2800 and below as they are developed for the 300 black out

Thanks Gene, that's useful to know.

I'm currently flirting out 150 grn Game Kings and Ballistic Tips at about 2,649 fps with a highish load of Vhit 140. I would expect the same load with 125s would put them up to about the 2,800 mark.

I don't think it's a matter for immediate concern though as I'm struggling to find any in stock at the moment so it's probably an exercise for a few months down the line.

Kind regards,

Tim

Should work great in an SKS.

If you want to 125 Sierras & cant find the GCs, I've shot Sierra 125 Spitzers #2120 out of an 06 at around 3000fps for an accurate reduced recoil load in a high-power bolt gun for rapid fire. Same POI in my rifle as the military ball on a reduced course. A friend who used them for hunting said it was fast death on PA whitetails. Would imagine they would work just as well in 308.
