Sierra GameKing 22 Cal 62 Gr SBT Ammunition - 100 Rounds/Box
- Capacity-Rounds:
- 100
- Grain:
- 62
Sierra GameKing 22 caliber 62-grain SBT (spitzer boat tail) ammunition delivers reliable performance for varmint hunting and medium-game applications where precision and controlled expansion matter. GameKing bullets are purpose-built for hunters who demand consistent velocity retention and dependable terminal performance downrange. The 62-grain weight in .22 caliber strikes a balance between velocity and striking energy, making it a solid choice for shooters working at typical hunting distances.
The boat tail design is the foundation of GameKing performance. That shape—tapering to a smaller diameter at the rear—reduces aerodynamic drag and lets the bullet hold its velocity better as it travels. Better velocity retention means flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and more consistent energy when it matters: at impact. The spitzer profile, with its sharp, elongated point, cuts air cleanly and contributes to that high ballistic coefficient GameKing bullets are known for.
These are loaded ammunition ready to shoot, not components. You get 100 rounds per box—enough for a hunting trip or a solid range session. If you're loading your own .22 centerfire ammo, note that this is finished ammunition, not loose bullets. For handloaders, Sierra also offers GameKing bullets as components if that's your workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Sierra GameKing boat tail and standard round-nose bullets?
The boat tail shape tapers the rear of the bullet, reducing drag and helping it retain velocity better over distance. That means flatter flight, less wind deflection, and more consistent energy downrange. Standard round-nose designs don't have that aerodynamic advantage, so they slow down faster and drift more in crosswind. GameKing's boat tail design is one reason hunters choose it for precision at extended ranges.
Is this ammunition loaded and ready to shoot, or are these components?
This is finished, loaded ammunition—100 rounds ready to load into your magazine and fire. If you're a handloader looking for Sierra GameKing .22 caliber 62-grain bullets as components, you'll want to order those separately as loose bullets, not this loaded ammunition box.
What game and shooting applications are GameKing 62-grain .22 rounds suitable for?
GameKing ammunition is designed for hunting and is built for medium-game applications appropriate to the .22 caliber and 62-grain weight. Hunters use it for varmint work and hunting where controlled expansion and penetration are priorities. As with any ammunition, make sure your firearm is chambered for .22 caliber before purchasing.
How does the spitzer shape affect trajectory and wind drift?
The long, sharp-pointed spitzer profile cuts through air more efficiently than blunt or rounded designs. Combined with the boat tail, this geometry delivers high ballistic coefficient, which means the bullet resists wind drift better and maintains flatter trajectory over distance. That translates to less holdover correction and tighter groups at longer ranges.
