The Sierra 4681C Tipped GameKing delivers exceptional terminal performance for 30-caliber hunting applications with its polymer-tipped design that enhances ballistic coefficient and initiates reliable expansion. This 180-grain bullet combines Sierra's proven GameKing accuracy with improved long-range capabilities. Hunters gain flatter trajectories and consistent performance across varying ranges and game sizes.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip sets this GameKing apart from traditional hollow point hunting bullets by providing improved aerodynamics and consistent expansion initiation. The tip drives into the lead core upon impact, creating controlled mushrooming that transfers maximum energy to the target. Sierra's manufacturing process ensures each bullet meets strict weight and dimensional tolerances, delivering match-grade consistency in a hunting projectile.
Key Features
- Polymer tip design improves ballistic coefficient and flight characteristics
- 180-grain weight optimized for 30-06, .300 Win Mag, and similar cartridges
- Boat tail base reduces drag for extended effective range
- Lead core construction with controlled expansion characteristics
- Jacket thickness engineered for medium to large game penetration
- 500-count bulk packaging for high-volume reloaders
- Consistent diameter and weight tolerances within 0.001 inches
Field performance shows reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps, making these bullets suitable for various 30-caliber cartridges and hunting scenarios. The design maintains structural integrity through heavy bone while creating sufficient wound channels for quick, ethical kills. Weather-resistant polymer tips won't deform during magazine feeding or storage in varying temperatures.
