Description
HSM built the Game King line around what works. You get the Sierra Game King spitzer boat tail bullet in each cartridge, loaded with components chosen to complement that bullet rather than compromise it. The result feels more like quality handloads than factory ammunition.
The 180-grain Game King bullet has real depth behind it. Originally designed for medium to large game, these bullets deliver solid penetration and expansion at typical hunting velocities. The boat tail design keeps trajectory flat and wind deflection low, so you're not chasing variables at distance. This weight class in .308 Winchester puts emphasis on energy retention over long range, making it a natural choice for hunting bigger game like elk or hunting situations where shots push beyond typical range.
Sierra Game King Ballistic Design
The spitzer boat tail shape does exactly what it's supposed to do. You get reliable expansion across impact velocities while maintaining decent penetration. Hunters have been running these bullets for decades because they work on game without requiring perfect placement. At normal hunting ranges and distances within 400 yards, you'll see reliable performance when shot placement is sound.
Built for Reloading Too
Each cartridge uses reloadable brass cases, so nothing gets wasted. Once you fire them, the brass is ready for a second life. You get 20 rounds per box and 25 boxes per case if you're stocking up for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 180 grain bullet suitable for hunting with a .308 Winchester?
Yes. The 180-grain Sierra Game King is a solid choice for hunting larger game like elk and bigger deer. It emphasizes energy retention at longer distances compared to lighter bullets, making it effective out to reasonable hunting ranges. For normal hunting situations within 300-400 yards with proper shot placement, this bullet performs as intended.
Can I reload these brass cases after firing?
Absolutely. HSM loads their Game King ammunition in reloadable brass cases. After you shoot them, the cases are ready for reloading. This lets you stretch your dollar further and reload to your preferred specifications if you're into handloading.
What makes HSM Game King ammunition different from standard factory loads?
HSM carefully matches components within each Game King load to the specific bullet. This attention to detail means better consistency and accuracy than typical mass-produced ammunition. Many hunters note the performance feels comparable to quality handloads rather than basic factory rounds.
What's the ballistic coefficient of the 180-grain Sierra Game King?
The Sierra Game King boat tail design provides good wind resistance and trajectory stability for medium-range hunting. While not the highest BC compared to modern premium bullets, the reliable expansion and penetration characteristics make it effective at typical hunting distances without requiring extremely high velocity.
