Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game This Impressed Me: The .270/140 gr. Sierra Gameking Tipped bullet

Only "failures" I get from em is the deer fail to live.

Yeah they separate and yeah they are hard on meat but they kill like lightning.

Been around Sierras more than any other bullets in the last 40sh years. The sumbitches flat ass kill critters.

Sure I kill deer w Partitions, Interlocks and several others but I can't see that they work a lick better than Sierras on little old whitetails.

Y'all need to be glad. I am not competition for Green Box bullets. There's more for you.

If you are using a heavy-ish for caliber bullet at a moderate speed, I think Sierra GK bullets are great for deer. It's when they are used up close and cranked up near 3,000fps or are lightweights with low SD that things get dicey with them coming apart. Not much different than other cup/cores like Powerpoints, Speer BT, Core-Lokt, etc. Cup/cores like this are great killers in the 7mm-08 and .308 and often exit.

I use em at 15 yards out to max range.

55 grain Gamekings in .224

PH and GK 80, 85 and 100 grain in the 24 calibers.

GK 90 and 100 in 25s

PH 120s in 6.5s and 7mms.

PH or GK 150s in 30 calibers.

They work for me.

My favorite Sierra bullet is the 160 grain 7mm Gameking. Perfect for the 7x57.

I made a (crappy) youtube video on the .277 140 Game Changer a few years ago when it first came out. It's very accurate in my Mod 70 Ranger.



My wife tested the expansion and penetration as well on them but her test media was very large cow elk shoulders.







2018 Report on this bullets

The next year she used a 130 Nos PT. This year she is using a 150 Horn SP. The 140 .277 Game Changer worked great for us but so does a bunch of other bullets.

Good luck and thanks for the post.

Nice looking family, Todd... Thanks for the report.

When you say "these" bullets, are you referring to these exact bullets, of SIERRA bullets in general?

And, if these bullets specifically, from what source?

Your reputation here proceeds you, and it doesn't call for a bow.
