Sierra Pro Hunter vs Gamekings

[Southern]

The boattail bullets of any brand are not going to give you enough BC advantage to notice a difference inside 200 meters with most hunting rounds, and the difference at 300 yards is only a couple of inches, but some more retained velocity and energy.

So go with the bullets which give you the tightest groups, as that is more important.

Prohunter every time they do the job very well indeed.

Indeed. I use Pro Hunters in .243 and .308 with excellent results on all sizes of deer. Total confidence in these bullets.

I use 120gr Pro Hunter’s in my 6.5x55 a cracking bullet in my opinion. They just do the job and they do it very well. I use em on Red, Roe & Sika.

Pro hunter work well for me. Game kings are ok but don't group as well in my 243.

Thanks gents, definite bias towards the prohunters. I think I’ll stick with the classic 130grain .270 and if they don’t work I’ll reorder some 110’s. Many thanks for all the info

Prohunters tend to hold together better being a flat base design. Plus at stalking ranges they usually allow you to produce tighter groups.

I've had exactly the same experience with them .

OK so I got bored tonight, dug out my Stoney Point (Hornady these days) bullet comparator & checked out 5 each of the Pro Hunter & Gameking, both .243 & 100gr.
With the GK, I had a spread of 0.003" & with the PH all measured identical to the rest. Decided to check some more & yep, the GK's had a spread of 0.003" across the 20 or so I checked 20 of the PH too & had a couple that came in at 0.0005" under, with the rest identical.
Checked some Hornady interlocks & they too have a spread of around 0.003", as did some 90gr Lapua Scenars & 90gr FMJ GK's.

I think I'll go hang my anorak back in the hall now...

Been interested in this thread having a .243 myself. I had always planned on using the Pro Hunters due to their flat base and this has reaffirmed my thoughts.
