Sierra GameKing .243 Winchester 100gr HPBT ammunition (brand part no. 1561-02) pairs Sierra’s proven GameKing hollow point boat tail bullet with the flat-shooting .243 Winchester cartridge, a combination built for deer-sized big game rather than the target range. Sierra places specially designed skives in the jacket around the bullet’s tip, promoting positive, uniform, and controlled expansion on impact instead of leaving performance to chance. The boat-tail base reduces drag as the bullet sheds velocity downrange, holding a flatter trajectory than a flat-base design of the same weight. Whitetail and similar-sized big game hunters who want a dependable .243 load reach for this Sierra GameKing ammunition every fall.
