Can't find H4831 around here, what would be another choice?

Only bullets that I can find are 130rgn Sierra Game Kings or 130grn Nosler Ballistic Tips, either of these worth the effort or should I hold out for something better?
 
the 140 nosler bt's are shooting good in my wsm...however i'm thinking about swithching to either 130 NBT's or 135SMK's...dunno....i'm gonna hunt with mine so i'm cautious about trying the smk's. i would luv it if sierra made a 130bthp, don't particularly like the spitzers since the lead tips get deformed rather easily.

i'm gonna give the 130 NBT's a try next year unless i hear some positive feedback on the smk's.
 
I've heard good things about the Yellow Tips, haven't tried them yet but the Hornady 150grn SST group under and inch @ 100 for me and have punched right through every muley I've shot with them. I'm going to stick with it for a hunting round, now in the off season I'm just looking to squeeze that last .25 out of this thing.
 
proly not much...4831 sc should give you some good results...i'm using 64grs. and i gotta say it's pretty warm, but not as bad as 65gr...hopefully when i drop down to the 130's i will be able to add more.

i can't use berger's cuz i will not be able to seat into the lands with my s/a like berger recomends..... so i guess i will stick to the NBT's, but i would like to try the SMK's.
 
Ok thanks. I can't find the Match Kings anywhere so I'm going to order them online. As soon as they get here and I can get some loads worked up I'll post the results. Having a hard time posting a pic, keeps saying its too big no matter how much I crop, any suggestions?
