Sierra GameKing 140 gr SBT – Proven Long-Range Hunting Bullet
At the heart of this load is the Sierra 140-grain GameKing Spitzer Boat Tail, a bullet renowned for its balance of accuracy and controlled expansion:
Spitzer (pointed) profile delivers a streamlined shape for high ballistic coefficient, helping your bullet buck the wind and maintain velocity downrange.
Boat tail base reduces drag and improves stability, enhancing long-range precision and energy retention.
Tapered jacket and lead core are engineered to expand reliably on impact, creating effective wound channels while still penetrating adequately on medium to large game when used within ethical distances.
If you’re the hunter who wants match-style accuracy with real hunting performance, the 140 gr GameKing is a time-tested choice.
6.5x284 Norma – Flat Trajectory & Serious Downrange Energy
The 6.5x284 Norma has earned a strong reputation in both long-range competition and open-country hunting because of its:
Fast muzzle velocities with heavy-for-caliber 6.5mm bullets.
Flat trajectory that reduces holdover at mid to long ranges.
High retained energy farther downrange than many traditional hunting calibers of similar recoil.
When you pair this cartridge with a high-BC 140 gr GameKing, you get a load that excels in:
Big, open terrain – prairies, agricultural fields, high desert, alpine basins.
Longer shot opportunities where precise dope and wind calls matter.
For hunters confident in their marksmanship, this round lets the 6.5x284 Norma shine as a serious long-range hunting solution.
