65gr sierra gameking
« on: February 25, 2007, 04:05:08 PM »
Does anyone have a pet load using the Sierra .224 65gr gameking in their 223 rem. ?  Can anyone tell me where to find load data? Sierra doesn't list any for the 65gr bullet In my book..  I'm going to be shooting it out of a RRA 20" coyote rifle 1-9" twist..  thanks

I don't think there is any published data for this bullet.  If you called Sierra, they could probably tell you something.  I recently worked up a load for it, 26.0 grains of Varget under the 65 Gameking.  At 100 yards it shoots great out of my Savage 12 BVSS (about 3/4" ave) and shoots just less than an inch average out of my Remington 700 ADL despite its 1-12" twist barrel.  The weather has not been conducive to chronographing lately so I don't know how fast its going.

Sierra says us data for the 63gr bullet, I load 26.2grs of varget, great bullet for coyote and deer.

Thanks all.

I've always used H335 for my .223 rem loads .  But I might have to get a lb. of varget .    Thanks again

I just picked up a Seirra 5th edition ..   It lists the 65gr gameking  in the AR-15 section. Us 63gr data for all other rifles as stated by other posters..    Just thought someone might want to know.

I load the 65 grain gameking with 25 grains of H335 in my Stevens 200 .223 and it is quite accurate. Took several deer and 1 nice bobcat this season with this combination.
