Sierra 1530 GameKing 6mm 85gr HPBT Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Sierra 1530 GameKing delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for medium game hunting with its precision-engineered hollow point boat tail design. This 85-grain bullet combines Sierra's proven GameKing construction with aerodynamic efficiency for consistent downrange results.

What Makes This Different

The GameKing series features Sierra's proprietary jacket design that ensures controlled expansion while maintaining weight retention on impact. Unlike standard hunting bullets, the boat tail configuration reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base designs. The hollow point cavity is precisely formed to initiate expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making it effective across various hunting distances.

Key Features

• 85-grain hollow point boat tail construction optimized for 6mm/.243 caliber rifles
• Precision-drawn gilding metal jacket ensures uniform wall thickness
• Boat tail base design reduces drag and extends effective range
• Controlled expansion hollow point cavity for reliable terminal performance
• Match-grade accuracy potential with sub-MOA capability in quality barrels
• Lead core bonding process minimizes bullet separation
• 100-count bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1-1.5 MOA accuracy in bolt-action rifles with proper load development. The 85-grain weight provides optimal velocity and energy retention for deer-sized game at ranges extending to 400 yards. Wind deflection characteristics remain favorable due to the high ballistic coefficient of .312, while the controlled expansion design ensures adequate penetration through heavy bone and muscle tissue.
