Sierra® Tipped GameKing®
The Sierra Tipped GameKing hunting bullet combines match levels of accuracy with deadly penetration. Sierra re-engineered their legendary MatchKing bullet into a hollow point design by way of an open pocket under the polymer tip that expands the lead core instantly upon impact. The transparent green polymer tip aids in ballistic uniformity while a tuned ogive provides industry-leading BC. The GameKing features a unique construction that utilizes a special lead alloy surrounded by a tough copper jacket to deliver excellent penetration and expansion at a variety of ranges.
