Sierra GameKing 7mm 160 grain HPBT bullets are a magnum-class projectile built for serious big game reloaders. The #1925 design balances controlled expansion with deep penetration—tougher construction than Sierra's lighter 7mm offerings, yet engineered for reliable, even expansion across a range of hunting scenarios. Whether you're handloading for elk, moose, or other large game, these hollow point boat tail rounds deliver the terminal performance magnum hunters demand.
The design philosophy centers on controlled chaos: a slightly closed nose opening slows initial expansion, while four jacket skives ensure the bullet opens predictably when it matters. There's no exposed lead to worry about deformation during magazine cycling or handling—the boat tail design keeps everything protected and consistent from box to firing pin. That means less worry about feeding issues and more confidence in your ballistics data.
These bullets work across the full spectrum of 7mm cartridges, from traditional hunting loads to magnum velocities. Reloaders also rely on them for silhouette and target work where precision and repeatability are non-negotiable. With roots back to 1988, the GameKing 160-grain has earned its place in thousands of handloads. Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a solid supply for load development or a season of hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What 7mm cartridges can I use these bullets with?
Sierra's 160 grain GameKing works in all 7mm cartridges, from standard 7mm-08 and 280 Remington through the magnum rounds like 7mm Remington Magnum and 7mm Weatherby Magnum. The magnum-class construction means it performs especially well at the velocities those larger cases deliver.
Are these GameKing bullets suitable for hunting?
Yes. The 160 grain #1925 is designed for big game hunting applications where controlled expansion and penetration matter. The closed nose and jacket skives deliver the even expansion hunters need for ethical, effective kills. Note: these are rifle bullets, not designed for handgun use.
What's the difference between the 160 grain and lighter 7mm GameKings?
The 160 grain #1925 is built tougher than the lighter #1920, offering greater penetration—important for larger game or when you need that extra margin of performance at longer ranges or with tougher game.
Can I use these for target shooting and silhouette?
Absolutely. Reloaders use the 160 grain GameKing for silhouette and target work where precision and consistency are critical. The boat tail design contributes to ballistic efficiency.
