The Barnes Harvest Collection brings together two names you can trust: Sierra's legendary bullet design and Barnes' uncompromising loading standards. This .223 Remington load uses a 69-grain Sierra Tipped GameKing bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,000 fps, delivering solid downrange energy without excess recoil.
Sierra engineered this bullet with a polymer tip seated in a hollow-point cavity. That tip does two things: it improves aerodynamics for a flatter trajectory, and it initiates rapid expansion on impact. The boat-tail design and lead core encased in a tough copper jacket create the kind of consistent performance you need when making ethical shots. At .223 Remington velocities, you get controlled expansion without the fragmentation that leads to poor penetration or unpredictable bullet performance.
The brass cases come highly polished with tight length tolerances, which means consistent neck tension and more uniform velocity. Field testing has shown standard deviations as low as 8 fps, which ranks with premium ammunition. The boxer primer is seated uniformly, and every case shows the attention to detail you'd expect from ammunition built to Barnes' published loading standards. These cases are reloadable, making them even better value for folks who reload.
The 69-grain weight strikes a balance that works across different hunting scenarios. This load pairs well with .223 rifles for coyotes, prairie dogs, or other thin-skinned game. It shoots accurately enough for precision work out to moderate distances while maintaining the terminal performance hunters need for quick, clean kills.
Yes. The 69-grain Sierra Tipped GameKing strikes a balance that works for both. The polymer tip and hollow-point design create controlled expansion suitable for thin-skinned game like coyotes and prairie dogs. It's designed as an all-around load that doesn't sacrifice accuracy or terminal performance for either application.
Absolutely. The cases come in boxer-primed, reloadable brass with tight tolerances and consistent length. Many reloaders appreciate the quality of the brass, which shows uniform neck tension and clean, polished cases. This makes the ammunition better value over time if you reload.
Field testing of the Harvest Collection shows standard deviations around 8 fps between shots, which is excellent consistency for factory hunting ammunition. Most reports indicate sub-MOA groups from standard hunting rifles, making it suitable for precision shots at moderate hunting ranges.
The polymer tip improves aerodynamics, giving the bullet a better ballistic coefficient for flatter flight downrange. It's also designed to initiate rapid expansion when it hits game. Combined with the hollow-point cavity, it creates the controlled expansion needed for quick, ethical kills on thin-skinned animals.
