based on my experience with the 6mm 90 grain one, all I can pass on, is shoot it running it hard on the speed...
They are not like a ballistic tip, opening up at low speeds.. they won't...
Running one out of a faster twist 22.250, I'd bet they are going to be pretty darn bad ass...
I'll have to look for a box... if that is possible in this post pandemic "oh schitt, Gun Grabbing DemocRats are back in office" world we are living in.
I got plenty of RL 26, which seems to be rocket fuel to most handloaders these days...

This bullet is one of Sierra's newest offerings, I also have wanted to try it but have never seen it in stock. My LGS said they have never been able to put a box on the shelf yet.
I bought a couple of boxes, am trying them with VV140. So far they aren't as accurate in my CZ as either the Sierra 63 or 65, but I'm still playing, looks like faster is better for them.
Hope to use them this fall.

No experience with that caliber, but the 130s work on great in 6.5creed on white tails & black bear. I'd compare them to hornady interlocks on game. Group great in my rifle using same loads as other bullets

Introducing the Sierra GameChanger hunting bullet: the perfect combination of Sierra’s legendary match accuracy coupled with deadly penetration. Sierra re-engineered their legendary MatchKing bullet into a hollow point design for quick expansion and fitted it with a transparent green tip for ballistic uniformity. Inside, the GameChanger features a unique construction that utlilizes a special lead alloy surrounded by a tough copper jacket that delivers excellent penetration and expansion at a variety of ranges. It’s a GameChanger on any hunt!

I'm going to try some in a fast twist 22-250 to see if I can make them shoot.

I have a fast twist 22-250 Tikka. Loaded up some of the 64 TGK with RL 16, started at 35 gn and went up to 36 gn in .2 increments seated .030" off lands. We shall see how they do.
loaded up some 64gr TMK with Varget and RL17 in a 7 twist 22-250, it's a toss up for accuracy, now to chronograph for speed, then to test it on some red tag dear to see how it kills
thanks for posting this. I'll be interested to learn why one round wouldn't chamber.
Rookie mistake, I didn't check to see if the primer was seated below the primer pocket. I checked OAL of the cartridge and it was way off, then looked at primer. All of them are now seated below primer pocket. I have a Frankford Arsenal hand primer, adjusted to make it seat a little deeper. I loaded some 35.9 and 36.0 to run across the chronograph.
