The Sierra 2125 GameKing delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its proven 150-grain spitzer boat tail design. This 30-caliber bullet combines accuracy with reliable expansion across a wide range of hunting scenarios. Sierra's GameKing line has established itself as a go-to choice for hunters who demand predictable results in the field.
What Makes This Different
The spitzer boat tail configuration reduces drag coefficient compared to flat-base bullets, maintaining velocity and energy downrange. Sierra's jacket design controls expansion while ensuring adequate penetration on medium game. The 150-grain weight strikes an optimal balance between flat trajectory and retained energy, making it versatile for various hunting applications from whitetail to elk.
Key Features
- 150-grain weight optimized for .30-caliber cartridges including .308 Winchester, .30-06, and .300 Winchester Magnum
- Spitzer boat tail design reduces wind drift and maintains velocity at extended ranges
- Tapered jacket construction promotes controlled expansion on medium to large game
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.408 for superior long-range performance
- Lead core provides consistent weight retention and penetration

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps, covering most hunting scenarios from close timber shots to open country applications. The bullet maintains structural integrity through heavy bone while creating adequate wound channels for quick, ethical kills. Weather conditions have minimal impact on accuracy due to the aerodynamic profile and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
