The Sierra 2950 GameKing delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its precision-engineered 250-grain spitzer boat tail design. This .375 caliber bullet combines controlled expansion with deep penetration, making it effective on everything from deer to elk-sized game. Each bullet features Sierra's renowned manufacturing consistency that hunters have trusted for decades.
What Makes This Different
The GameKing's tapered jacket construction provides controlled expansion at various impact velocities while maintaining structural integrity for deep penetration. Unlike standard hunting bullets, the spitzer boat tail profile reduces wind drift and maintains velocity downrange better than flat-base designs. The 250-grain weight offers an optimal balance between sectional density and manageable recoil in .375 caliber rifles.
Key Features
- 250-grain spitzer boat tail design for superior ballistic coefficient
- Tapered jacket construction ensures controlled expansion and weight retention
- Precision-swaged lead core for consistent performance shot after shot
- Boat tail base reduces drag and improves long-range accuracy
- Compatible with .375 H&H Magnum, .375 Ruger, and similar cartridges
- Gilding metal jacket resists deformation during feeding
- 50-count box provides excellent value for hunters
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps, making these bullets versatile across different .375 caliber cartridges. The boat tail design maintains supersonic flight longer than flat-base bullets, extending effective range for precision shots on game. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic profile and quality jacket material.
