Sierra 2236 GameKing 30 Cal 205gr HPBT Bullets - 100/Box

The Sierra 2236 GameKing delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for serious hunters pursuing large game. This 205-grain hollow point boat tail bullet maximizes energy transfer while maintaining flat trajectories at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

Sierra's GameKing design combines a hollow point cavity engineered for controlled expansion with a boat tail base that reduces drag coefficient by 12% compared to flat-base alternatives. The jacket thickness varies from nose to base, creating predictable mushrooming that retains 65-75% of original weight. This controlled deformation pattern produces larger wound channels than standard soft points while preventing over-penetration in medium game.

Key Features

• 205-grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum
• Hollow point cavity precisely formed for 1.5x diameter expansion at impact velocities above 1,800 fps
• Boat tail design reduces wind drift by 8% at 300 yards compared to flat-base bullets
• Tapered jacket construction from 0.030" at base to 0.015" at nose
• Lead core bonding process eliminates core separation during expansion
• Ballistic coefficient of 0.520 maintains velocity downrange
• Match-grade manufacturing tolerances within ±0.3 grains weight variation

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles with proper load development. The 205-grain weight provides sufficient momentum for elk and moose while remaining effective on deer-sized game. Expansion initiates reliably at velocities down to 1,600 fps, making this bullet suitable for shots extending to 400 yards with appropriate cartridges. The boat tail configuration stabilizes quickly in standard 1:10" twist barrels.
