Sierra Bullets 30Cal 195Gr Tgk Tipped Gameking 100/Box
The Sierra Bullets 30 caliber 195-grain Tipped GameKing is a polymer-tipped rifle bullet engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who demand reliable expansion and consistent ballistic performance. Built on Sierra's proven GameKing platform, this boat-tail design combines controlled jacket thickness with an open pocket beneath the polymer tip to initiate rapid, predictable expansion on impact. The 195-grain weight in .308 diameter suits medium to large game at extended ranges, where the aerodynamic advantage of the polymer tip becomes increasingly valuable.
The boat-tail configuration stabilizes the bullet in flight and supports accuracy downrange, while the tuned ogive profile delivers a ballistic coefficient that outperforms traditional round-nose and spire-point designs. If you're building precision hunting loads or long-range field ammunition for rifles like the .308 Winchester or other .30 caliber cartridges, this bullet rewards handloaders with consistent velocities and tight group potential. Each box contains 100 bullets, making it a practical quantity for developing loads without excess inventory.
Sierra's focus on jacket wall control means expansion occurs reliably without jacket separation or fragmentation, critical traits for ethical hunting and consistent terminal performance. The polymer tip protects the bullet's nose during handling and feeding while reducing drag—a combination that keeps velocity and energy downrange longer than untipped alternatives. This is a bullet for shooters who understand the reloading process and want components that perform predictably across typical hunting velocities and impact scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .30 caliber rifle cartridges can I load these bullets in?
The .308" diameter suits common .30 caliber cartridges including .308 Winchester, .300 Win Mag, .300 Blackout, and other .30 cal bottleneck rounds. Always consult your reloading manual and firearm specifications to confirm compatibility and safe load data for your specific cartridge and rifle.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
Yes. The Tipped GameKing line is designed for hunting applications, with controlled expansion and jacket construction intended for reliable terminal performance on game. The polymer tip and boat-tail configuration also provide ballistic advantages for longer-range hunting scenarios.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 100 Sierra Bullets 30 caliber 195-grain Tipped GameKing bullets, a standard quantity for handloaders developing custom hunting and field ammunition.
What's the advantage of the polymer tip on a hunting bullet?
The polymer tip reduces aerodynamic drag, yielding a higher ballistic coefficient than untipped bullets of the same design. This means better velocity retention and flatter trajectory downrange—benefits that matter most for long-range hunting where distance and wind play bigger roles.
