Sierra GameKing 7mm 140 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail Bullets (Box of 100)$53.80
Availability: In Stock
If you're handloading for 7mm rifle cartridges and need a proven hunting bullet that balances power with precision, the Sierra GameKing 7mm 175 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail (#1940) deserves serious consideration. This 100-count box supplies a heavy-duty projectile engineered for large North American game and African plains game—built with a double-tapered jacket and special alloy core designed to penetrate deep and expand reliably on demanding hunts. The boat-tail profile and spitzer shape keep the bullet aerodynamic downrange, making it well-suited to 7mm magnum cartridges where velocity and trajectory matter.
What sets the GameKing apart is its ballistic heritage: Sierra designed it with the same fundamental shape as their renowned MatchKing match bullet, so you're getting hunting accuracy that approaches competition-grade precision. Reloaders working with 7mm-08, 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm Weatherby Magnum, or similar chambers will find these bullets perform across long-range hunting scenarios where wind drift and drop compound at distance. The heft of 175 grains carries significant momentum downrange, reducing crosswind deflection compared to lighter 7mm projectiles and helping maintain velocity in thinner air at elevation.
Beyond hunting, these bullets see regular use in centerfire rifle silhouette competitions and long-range target work, where their combination of aerodynamic form and consistent construction yields the repeatability serious handloaders demand. Note that 175 grains sits on the heavier end of the 7mm spectrum—smaller-capacity cases may struggle to seat them efficiently, so verify your cartridge choice during load development.
| Bullet Weight | 175 grains |
| Caliber | 7mm (.284") |
| Bullet Style | Spitzer Boat Tail |
| Part Number | #1940 |
| Count per Box | 100 |
| Jacket Type | Double-tapered |
| Primary Use | Hunting, silhouette, target shooting |
These bullets are designed for larger-capacity 7mm magnums—7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm Weatherby Magnum, 7mm Shooting Times Westerner, and similar cases that can accommodate the heavier bullet weight. They also function in 7mm-08 Remington, though that cartridge's smaller powder capacity may limit your velocity potential. Always verify bullet fit and seating depth in your specific chamber before beginning load development.
Yes. The boat-tail spitzer shape and ballistic profile keep these bullets aerodynamic at distance, and the 175 grain weight carries substantial momentum downrange. This makes them well-suited to long-range hunting scenarios where wind deflection and trajectory consistency are critical. Pair them with appropriate powder, primer, and load data specific to your cartridge.
GameKings are used successfully in centerfire rifle silhouette matches and long-range target shooting. Their design, based on Sierra's MatchKing shape, delivers accuracy comparable to dedicated match bullets while retaining hunting performance. For competition, verify they're legal under your organization's rules.
Sierra notes the 175 grain GameKing is recommended for handgun hunting only in cartridges like the 7mm-08 Remington when fired from single-shot platforms such as the Remington XP-100 capable of reaching appropriate velocity. These bullets may be too heavy for standard handgun powder charges; consult current reloading manuals specific to your handgun and cartridge combination.
