Reloading data for Sierra GameKing's...

[jnoble87]

I'm not having much luck finding some decent reloading info for the Sierra Gameking bullets. I'm shooting a .30-06 and I'm wanting to cook up a pretty hot load for these. Can anyone help me with info? Or have a Sierra reloading manual....?

Thanks a bunch guys!

I'm using Gameking's in my .270. I use Hodgdon's reloading data. They're online.

You don't specify bullet weight, but H4350 is the first powder I'd try. I've found it gives me the best velocity in my 30-06 rifles with excellent accuracy. Good loads can be found here.

http://hodgdon.com/.

Some loads are for bullets other than Sierra, but if you use the same bullet weight and start low and work up you'll be OK.

A max load of 62 gr of H4350 is giving me 3070 ish fps with Hornady 150's and MOA accuracy from my 22" rifle. 61 Gr is 3025-3040 depending on the rifle, but with accuracy closer to .5 MOA and is my preferred load.

Another powder that gets good praise is Ramshot Big Game. I'm using 60 gr of it with 150 Gr Barnes TTSX bullets @ 3050 fps. 60.7 is listed as a max load.

I've not tried it but some have reported that Reloader 17 is giving great velocity in a 30-06. Accuracy is getting mixed results from what Im reading from others who have tried it.

All 3 of those links show many good loads. Look around and see what looks good to you.

Email Sierra, tell them the bullet you have, then ask for load data. They will send back a PDF file that is probably the same as in their reloading book.

Sierra has a reloading manual with their bullets in it. Is it not in there? I don't have that manual since I don't use their bullets.
