The Sierra GameKing 7mm (.284) 150 grain spitzer boat tail bullet is a proven workhorse for 7mm rifle reloaders hunting medium game at distance. This mid-weight projectile delivers the ballistic advantage of a heavier mass compared to lighter 7mm options, making it especially useful in 7mm magnum cartridges when you need effective reach without sacrificing velocity. Sierra's heavy double-tapered jacket design balances expansion and penetration, giving hunters the terminal performance needed on deer, elk, and similar game out to 500 yards when placed correctly.
The boat tail profile boosts the ballistic coefficient, helping your rounds maintain energy downrange and offering flatter trajectory for medium to long-range hunts. The 150 grain weight walks a smart middle ground: it's lighter than heavier magnum loads but carries enough momentum to perform reliably. Reloaders choosing this bullet for 7mm-08 Remington or similar cartridges will appreciate the consistency Sierra is known for. The #1913 has been in production since 1987, proof of its staying power in the hunting and target communities.
While designed primarily for rifle applications, some handloaders have experimented with this bullet in specialized 7mm handgun cartridges—though it's considered overkill for lighter handgun rounds like the 7mm TCU or 7mm BR. When paired with adequate velocity (2500 fps or more in a handgun context), it can serve target or hunting purposes in suitable platform/cartridge combinations. For rifle shooters, there are no restrictions; this bullet works across the full spectrum of 7mm cartridges for both hunting and range use.
