Is it just a Game King with a tip ?

Nobody has used any ?

I’ve shot the GameChanger 90 & 100gr in 6mm Creedmoor and the 165gr 308. Both were factory loads from HSM, accuracy was great performance was as to be expected from Sierra hunting bullets. Wish I could find a reliable source, those 100gr are hard to come by. BH2 has ‘em all stockpiled. 😃

And yes … it is a tipped GameKing

I'm not so sure. They appear to have more of a Secant ogive and VLD boattail design than the traditional tangent ogive of the lead tipped game kings.

I've never shot an animal with one so cant report on that. Initial testing I've done with the 165 gr game changer in my 7mm RM is they have potential for outstanding accuracy.

But until I can find any more in stock I'm not going to bother with further load development on a bullet in may not be able to buy.

You know that’s outside of my pay grade bud. I can’t even spell seekant or tangerine 😃

They probably did change something but Sierra is calling it a TGK on their factory loads. My guns like ‘em whatever they may be. Haven’t shot a deer yet but have turned a couple coyotes inside/out.

Ogive. I say "OH-Jive" am I wrong?

Done a little research since the op. Sierra is saying that the term "Tipped Game King" is a little misleading per the article I read which quoted the R & D guy who was in the know at Sierra ( a Mr. Box , I believe) Anyhow, he's saying the jacket is thicker and it does have a more pronounced taper as well. Interesting.

AU338 knows his chit! They need to have him writing those articles.

I dunno if it's right or wrong but that's how I say it.

The original GK bullets are pretty damn violent on deer so if the TGK will do the same it will be a goodun.

Just wish I could find some in stock. 🤣

I am happy it's not a bonded bullet. They are saying it's designed to hold together at reasonable velocities. but still expand rapidly. Kind of like the original G K's.

I know dat's riiett.

He's busy getting his resume for the AU OC job.

Or he's in rehab for his bias against sub .30 calibers.

I have a box of 165s I need to load for my 308. Being Sierras Im pretty confident they’ll perform well.

I couldn’t stand the performance of game kings in my 25-06 so much, I never cared to try them in any other caliber.

I don't like them in a .25-06 either. Just not a heavy enough bullet at the velocity for my taste. I liked Noslers in that caliber 115 Partition or 110 Accubonds work very well.

Sierra bullets are accurate. The Gamechanger is just something their marketing department came up with to sell some product. When you make the same bullets you have been making since 1947 and they still work just like they always have. What else are you going to do?

"Hi there.. here's a box of your granddad's bullets. Yep. Still accurate as hell. Yep. Still kill the chit outa whatever."

I mean.... does that sell on Facebook? Ought to if it don't.... but we all know the routine.

Do a little research Goat. and you'll see they are not the same as a Game King. The marketing ploy was to ride the coattails of the Game king through name recognition. It seems to have worked.

I was not implying they are the same only that this might fit into the category.... trying to fix something that ain't broke. But I get it from the company's perspective.... why would you not try to improve your product?
