Sierra 2165 GameKing 30 Cal 200gr Spitzer Boat Tail Bullets 100/Box

The Sierra 2165 GameKing delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for serious hunters pursuing medium to large game. This 200-grain spitzer boat tail bullet combines Sierra's proven construction with aerodynamic design for consistent downrange energy transfer.

What Makes This Different

The GameKing features Sierra's proprietary jacket design with controlled expansion characteristics that retain 65-75% of original weight upon impact. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets, the tapered jacket thickness provides reliable mushrooming while maintaining structural integrity. The boat tail base reduces drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat base designs, extending effective range and improving wind drift resistance.

Key Features

• 200-grain spitzer boat tail configuration optimized for .30 caliber rifles
• Controlled expansion design retains 65-75% weight for deep penetration
• Boat tail base design reduces drag and improves long-range ballistics
• Tapered jacket construction ensures consistent mushrooming performance
• Compatible with .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum
• Precision swaged lead core for uniform weight distribution

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities between 1,800-2,800 fps, making this bullet suitable for elk, deer, and similar-sized game at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. The spitzer profile maintains velocity better than round nose alternatives while the 200-grain weight provides substantial knockdown power. Weather conditions have minimal impact on accuracy due to the aerodynamic boat tail design.
