The Sierra 4681 Tipped GameKing delivers exceptional terminal performance for big game hunting with its polymer-tipped design that enhances ballistic coefficient and ensures consistent expansion. This 180-grain .30 caliber bullet combines Sierra's proven GameKing accuracy with modern tipped bullet technology for hunters who demand reliable performance on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design sets the Tipped GameKing apart from traditional soft-point bullets by improving aerodynamics and initiating more consistent expansion upon impact. The tip also prevents deformation in the magazine during recoil, maintaining the bullet's ballistic profile shot after shot. Sierra's proprietary jacket design controls expansion while the lead core provides the mass retention needed for deep penetration on tough game.
Key Features
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory and retained velocity
- 180-grain weight optimized for .30 caliber cartridges including .308 Win, .30-06, .300 Win Mag
- Boat tail base design reduces drag for improved long-range accuracy
- Controlled expansion jacket ensures reliable mushrooming on game
- Lead core construction provides maximum weight retention and penetration
- Precise manufacturing maintains consistent bullet-to-bullet dimensions
- 100-count box provides excellent value for serious hunters
Field testing demonstrates the Tipped GameKing's effectiveness on deer, elk, and similar-sized game at ranges from 100 to 400 yards. The bullet maintains structural integrity through heavy bone while creating sufficient wound channels for quick, ethical kills. Accuracy testing in quality rifles typically produces sub-MOA groups when paired with appropriate powder charges and seating depths.
