Sierra GameKing Bullets in 6.5 Creedmoor, 130 grains, hollow point boat tail (Sierra part no. 1728) are built for hunting at long range, bringing the ballistic advantage of a match-style boat tail to a dedicated hunting bullet. The streamlined, tapered boat-tail base greatly reduces drag compared to a flat-base bullet, which translates directly into higher retained velocity, greater striking energy, a flatter trajectory, and less wind drift downrange. For 6.5 Creedmoor hunters who want that extra margin at extended range, the GameKing is a proven Sierra hunting option.
