The Sierra 4565T Tipped GameKing delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for 7mm rifle cartridges. This 165-grain hollow point boat tail bullet features Sierra's polymer tip technology for improved ballistic coefficient and reliable expansion on game. Professional hunters and competitive shooters rely on GameKing bullets for consistent shot placement and devastating energy transfer.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design initiates rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. Unlike traditional hollow point bullets that can clog with debris, the tipped design ensures reliable expansion across various impact velocities. 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
- 165-grain weight optimized for 7mm cartridges (.284 diameter)
- Polymer tip initiates expansion and improves ballistic coefficient
- Hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design for superior accuracy
- Jacket thickness engineered for controlled expansion on medium to large game
- Boat tail base reduces drag and wind drift at extended ranges
- Match-grade construction with tight weight tolerances
- 50 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifle systems when properly loaded. The 165-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration on elk, deer, and similar-sized game. Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.520 maintains velocity and energy downrange better than conventional hunting bullets. The tipped design performs reliably from 1,800 fps impact velocity up to magnum velocities exceeding 3,000 fps.
