G'day all
I'm looking at doing some reloading for my Tikka T3lite .308 20inch barrel and was wondering if anyone has had much experience using the Sierra 150gr Sbt Gamekings #2125. I'm well aware there is always a tradeoff but am planning to use it for some bushstalking but also comfortably stretch out to 300+.
I'm open to other ideas and suggestions.
Cheers
They are too soft on larger or tougher animals at close range, use the Prohunter out to 300 instead.
Great bullets. Work up a load with IMR 3031 starting at about 38 grains and COAL 2.75". Extreme accuracy in my Sako and Schultz and Larsen 308's
They're a good projectile but I always preferred the heavier 165 in my Sako as they shot better.

+1 for the 165gr Sierra, they were very good on game out of my 308 I used to own.
The Gameking is the pill. Load it in 223 and performs wicked. Just loaded some for a 222.
have look at Nathan foster,s website Extensive Field-Tested Rifle & Cartridge Research - BallisticStudies.com knowledge base you will find a lot of good info on there for 308 and just about every other caliber out there good shit and he is a kiwi as well
I use them out of my 16' 308. smacked 5 red stags this year and have all killed well plus multiple smaller meat animals. no dramas at all
