Sierra Game Changer bullets

[okie]

As long as we are complaining, where are the 6.5 120's for use in the Grendel? Heck I will settle for some of the OLD 120 Pro Hunters. Have not been able to find any for almost a year.

I think I have a box or 2...?

Just got e-mails from Sierra and MidwayUSA on these new bullets, if you have to have the newest thing out.

Looks like Sierra has just answered Hornadys ELD-X.

Yet again no 140gr bullet in 6.5. Why? seems to me like it would make sense to do the 140s over the 130s in the 6.5mm especially if marketing for the hunting crowd.

130’s seem like the way to go when you run the #’s in the creed and x47 sized cases. The heavier pills need more horsepower in my opinion.

I think the 130’s hit the nail on the head.

Got the same email, have some in shopping cart to give a try. Quality and value of Sierra is usually very good. Willing to give them a try.

Where are you finding them for sale ?

One in particular, the 6mm 85 grain BTHP is perhaps the best all around bullet ever developed for the 243 Win.

I agree. Have used this bullet in a variety of 243's with H4831 for years and never ever had a deer go more than 20 yards. It is an accurate and lethal bullet!

I've never been able to run a 130 fast enough to beat a 140 in energy or drift and there are plenty other 6.5s out there besides a damn Creed.

Depends on what you’re trying to flip over.

Thank you Sir.

Doesn't matter what it is. 130 still doesn't beat the 140s

That’s kinda like the deal: Would you rather be hit in the face by a fast swung flyswatter or by a slow fisted 400 pound gorilla.

This past fall at 1145 yds no gorilla was needed. Pass through, DRT, 6.5x47, 130 gr vld

Miss the spine at that distance, clear your schedule and have a comfortable pair of hiking boots ready.

Either practice your shooting or your tracking
