Tried some 130 gr Sierra Game changers in my Sig Cross 6.5 CM.

I picked up a box of the 130 gr Game changers the other day and loaded 10 rounds of 2 different loads. One with Rel 15 and it shot about .850 for 2 5 shot groups. The other one with H4350 was the winner, one 5 round groups went .196, the other one .215. This is a bone stock Cross, have not even adjusted the trigger. I seated them the same depth as 123 gr SST. I loaded up 50 more rounds and aim to shoot it, planing on using it for wild hogs in Tenn, and for deer here in KY. Scope is a Sig Buckmaster, 4x16x50, BDC reticle, 30 mm tube. I really like this rifle and so far it shoots lights out with 3 different bullet weights, 95 gr, 123 and 130. I think it is good anyway for a relatively light weight hunting rifle, under $200 scope.

Rarely does H4350 fail or become second to any other powder for the 6.5 CM
 
Sounds like you have found your hunting load.
The 130 Game Changers shot well in two different 6.5mm CMs and shot just a bit larger groups by a few thousandths that the 130 TMKs.
I did notice that the POI for the Game Changers was about 1/4 to the right of the TMKs at 100 yards.
I thought the thinner game jackets might have imparted more spin.
