The Sierra GameKing 85-grain 6mm HPBT bullet is a versatile hollow point boat tail round built for reloaders working with 243 Winchester, 6mm Remington, and other 6mm cartridges. Whether you're handloading ammunition for deer, antelope, or varmint hunting, this proven bullet bridges the gap between match-grade accuracy and reliable expansion on game—making it one of the most trusted choices for 6mm rifle platforms.
GameKing bullets are engineered to shoot with the precision of a target round while delivering the terminal performance hunters demand. The hollow point design initiates rapid, consistent expansion at hunting velocities, while the boat tail profile improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and better downrange energy retention. The 85-grain weight offers an excellent balance of velocity, energy, and recoil across the full spectrum of 6mm rifles, from standard hunting rifles to precision bolt actions.
Reloaders also choose the 85gr GameKing for handgun applications in strong single-shot platforms like the Remington XP-100 and 6mm BR wildcats, where its construction handles the higher pressures and velocities these guns deliver. The bullet's durability makes it suitable for both close-range varmint work and medium-game hunting depending on your load development and shot placement.
Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a full supply for developing loads, load testing, or building hunting ammunition without frequent reorders. If you're reloading for 243 Winchester or 6mm hunting, the GameKing 85gr is a field-proven option worth working up.
