Not sure if it 'is all that' , but sure nice to see new introductions in the .25 cal

Buddy of mine asked if the tipped hunting GameKings were bonded... I dont think so, and a quick glance of Sierras website does not indicate they are..... I sent them an email just to satisfy my own curiosity.
I do think the jacket thickness (in certain calibers) is increased ala Ballistic Tips, but no bonding of core & jacket.

We will see what Sierra says....

Cup n core.

Expansion controlled by jacket thickness and core hardness.

I'm also happy to see some new quarter bore bullets. But $53 for a box of 100?? Sierra prices have gone through the roof!

That’s a decent start. It’d be cool to see them break the mold a little and offer some bigger TGKs for the 25’s.

We love 25’s here but the problem we will run into is if 1-10” wont spin it, the new bullets do us no good. We’re well stocked up with 100gr nbt’s and if I were to rebarrel her 250AI it wouldn’t be for a faster twist 25. I won’t change the barrel anyway though because for shooting deer here that little 250AI is great as is.
