The Sierra 1925 GameKing 7mm 160-grain hollow point boat tail bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for medium to large game hunting. These precision-manufactured projectiles feature Sierra's proven GameKing design, engineered for consistent performance across various 7mm cartridges. The hollow point construction ensures reliable expansion while the boat tail design maintains velocity and accuracy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's GameKing bullets incorporate a unique jacket thickness variation that promotes controlled expansion without excessive fragmentation. The 160-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity retention and energy transfer for 7mm cartridges. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets, the GameKing features a tapered jacket design that ensures consistent expansion across impact velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps.
Key Features
- 160-grain hollow point boat tail design for controlled expansion
- Precision-drawn copper jacket with tapered wall thickness
- Boat tail base reduces drag coefficient by 15-20% over flat base bullets
- Compatible with all standard 7mm cartridges (.284 diameter)
- Ballistic coefficient of .456 for superior long-range performance
- Lead core precisely matched to jacket for consistent weight distribution
- Manufactured to +/- 0.3 grain weight tolerance
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The hollow point cavity initiates expansion reliably on medium game like deer and elk at ranges from 100 to 400 yards. The boat tail configuration maintains supersonic velocity longer than flat base alternatives, extending effective hunting range. These bullets perform consistently in temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without significant point-of-impact shifts.
