Description
Designed for rifles in 30 caliber, the .308 Sierra GameKing SBT 150gr bullet is ideal for medium- to long-range hunting with cartridges that have medium to large case capacities for powder. These bullets often display match-grade accuracy from precise hunting rifles. The renowned Sierra Spitzer Boat Tail shape ensures a flat trajectory, excellent resistance to crosswinds and vertical winds, and maximum energy delivery to the target.
Good penetration and expansion are characteristic of these bullets, even at reduced impact velocities at long range. With the weight range available, at least one of these bullets will prove ideal for almost any 30 caliber cartridge. The 150 grain #2125 bullet is best suited to medium game at all velocity levels.
In handguns chambering 30 caliber cartridges, prior to the introduction of the Remington Model XP-100 and similar handgun designs using larger rifle cartridges, the usefulness of these bullets was limited. Now, they have a very definite niche as superbly accurate hunting bullets. Previously considered “too hard” for expansion, they perform well at the 2500 fps muzzle velocities achievable in the 308 Winchester and larger cartridges. Ease of loading and precise concentricity contribute to their excellent accuracy. Sierra’s Spitzer Boat Tail design ensures a flat trajectory and high energy delivery downrange with low sensitivity to crosswinds and vertical winds. These bullets are suitable for varmints through large game at all ranges a prudent handgunner would normally attempt.
