Product Overview
HSM's Game King line loads the 117 grain Sierra spitzer boat tail at 3,000 feet per second. This heavier GameKing variant delivers 2,340 foot-pounds of muzzle energy while the .388 ballistic coefficient ensures efficient flight. The extra weight compared to 100 grain options provides additional penetration and momentum retention—advantages that matter on quartering shots.
Sierra developed the GameKing specifically for hunters who demand match-grade accuracy from their hunting ammunition. The boat tail design stabilizes the bullet in flight while the tapered jacket allows controlled expansion. This combination produces the tight groups accurate rifles are capable of while still delivering terminal performance that cleanly takes game.
Deer hunters who practice at the range and expect their hunting ammunition to shoot identically to their practice rounds appreciate this consistency. The 117 grain weight strikes a practical balance between velocity and momentum for the .25-06 cartridge. From food plot setups to stalking through timber, this load handles typical whitetail hunting scenarios effectively.
- Sierra GameKing bullets deliver match-grade accuracy that hunters can verify at the range
- The 117 grain weight provides more momentum than lighter options for better penetration
- Boat tail design improves ballistic efficiency and long-range accuracy
- HSM's quality control ensures consistent velocities and tight groups
- GameKing's graduated jacket may fragment on close-range, high-velocity impacts
- Limited retail availability—typically requires online ordering
- The 3,000 fps velocity trails faster loads like Hornady Superformance
