Default 200 grn Sierra Game Kings

Hey all, I'm curious if anyone ever comes across these bullets? I'm trying to find some with no luck at all. Does anyone know of a similar substitute in the same weight or close? My rifle does not care for the 210 Bergers or LR Accubonds so I want to try something heavy but less finicky.

Can't say I do about the 200s but I do use the 180s in 3 of my rifles. And yes very hard to come by. Only seeking them like 50% mind you. Not calling everyplace I know of.

I'll keep an eye out for you or call Doug at Raynorshine .... He might be able to help. Sitby ... Going for a phone number...... 306 689 2654

Do you use that bullet to hunt with?

What about the 200 grain AB?

LRABs (and Berger VLDs) have a secant ogive which is extremely sensitive to seating depth. The standard AB with its tangent ogive is much less finicky in a hunting rifle.

Note: you may have better luck with the VLDs and LRABs if you seat them to kiss the lands. It is unlikely you will be able to fit them in you mag box loaded that long if that is a problem.

I would like to try them but fear the recoil!
