Frequently asked questions

What does SBT mean?

What is the benefit of a boat-tail?

The streamlined rear profile reduces aerodynamic drag and helps retain velocity. It does not remove the need to determine distance and wind accurately.

Is this a match or hunting bullet?

Sierra GameKing is a hunting bullet and should not be confused with the non-expanding MatchKing.
