Sierra Game King as a target bullet? (.243 groupes in the .3s @ 225)

[mattri]

Have used the Game King in .243 and .270 with great results as a hunting bullet. The .243 100grn shoots very well out of my wife's Savage based rifle, 26" Shilen 1:8 barrel. It will group .6-.7s all day at 225, the above group being the best so far.

Anyone shooting these bullets at med-long ranges for accuracy?

im trying the 30 cal 180's. At a 100yds they group slightly better than the 175mk's ive been using, and have shot well to 400yds. The base to ogive measurement is also more consistent than mk's. I need to load some more and see how they do out to 800yds.

That's pretty much what I have found, they are doing better than the 107 MKs for me.

I recently switched to 130 grain Sierra GameKings in my stock Ruger .270 Win and my first three shot group at 100 yards was just over half an inch. This was the max load with H4831sc recommended by Sierra. I was impressed. The load below max was slighter larger, but not by much. I was sighted in and had a load selected with only 9 rounds.
