Thread starter sestoppelman Start date Aug 7, Pretty much everyone knows that Sierra bullets shoot well in many if not most guns, they sure do for me. But who has used them for hunting and what is your opinion of them? I have always considered them as primarily a deer bullet and in the larger calibers perhaps an elk sized bullet in the Game King style. Click to expand Thanks Phil, Thats the kind of stuff I am looking for. I have never hunted with them before but find of late that they shoot so well in a couple of rifles its tempting.
Anybody have Africa experience with the Sierra? One fellow years ago got a little huffy with me when I opined that Sierra's were maybe not built well enough for buffalo in. He strongly defended them for such activity. Scott, I have had really good success with the Sierra GK, they are unbelievably accurate in my Savage rifles.
On game, it is really hit or miss, I have had some blow through the Whitetail and some blow up inside them. All in all, there is only one level of dead. I know I will catch some shit over this, expecially with the handloaders, but, in my Remington 's I use Remington factory core lokt ammo, with the same level of accuracy and actually have not had one of them blow up inside an animal, again, one level of dead.
That's my two cents, don't know if it helps or not, Scott. Sounds like they work for you. Like you say dead is dead and whether or not the bullet exits or not is really not that important as long as it does the job. The most dramatic kills I ever saw come to think of it were the first two deer I ever killed. It was in Alaska and two deer fell to one shot each from my dads.
Both deer were feet up in the air instantly and stone dead when we got to them. Both bullets had basically disintegrated inside the chest cavity with only minute fragments ever found. While eating of course!
Code4 AH fanatic. I use the 7mm GK in my 7x57 for Deer. It works. DOC AH elite. I use gr Gk's in. I've even converted a few hunting buddies to using them. Code4 and Docman, Thanks for the info. Code4 your "deer" run a bit larger than our deer, closer to elk size. And camels are pretty big too. Docman glad to hear they do that well for you.
I have a very good shooting. Do you have any experience with them? Docman thanks! Sounds like these may be better game bullets than some think. Talisker AH member.
Joined May 9, Messages 21 Reaction score The Pro Hunter is for closer range work and the Game King is for longer range work. In my CZ 7x57 I get 0. My close range choice is the Nosler Partition at grains. The GK is for my moderate distance load. These Sierra bullets are not for magnums unless you back off and let the bullet lose some speed. Dave shot this pig on a hunt in Texas. This provided a very ethical and clean kill on the animal — no suffering and no hunting for an injured animal.
