      The tipped 130 graim match BC is .581, wonder what the BC is and minimum velocity for expansion. This bullet is not currently listed on Sierra’s web site.

        So that is the reason that I can not find any Sierra 130 BTHP Game Kings. I guess they will dump that bullet for this one. I hope this is also not the reason that I can't find the 125 Pro Hunter. It is too good a shooting bullet in my rifles for them to do away with it.

            That's interesting.

            Would like to see a 107gr version of this too.

              I thought I seen tipped matchkings on midway as well, might not have been midway but I know I saw a listing for tipped matchkings somewheres, can't remember what grain it was.

                  Your link shows the 130 grain TGK BC as .510.

                    We are getting killed on prices for .264 bullets

                    I mean look at the cost of .243 - nearly half!

                    6mm Creedmoor and 6mmAR shooter’s get a helluva deal

                        Supply and demand gents.

                        Everybody wants 6.5 mm it's the new hotness, so naturally prices are going to go up on the hot items to increase their profit share it's just the way business goes.

                          22 cal is even cheaper. It seems like 6mm is the optimum caliber for price vs performance.
                          I think it must be because of all the target shooters using 6mm so manufacturers make more of them and thus availability is greater.

                            Hmm, when I first looked at it yesterday it had no BC listed. Must have updated it or something...

                            Wonder if it's trying to compete with the ABLR...?
                            More like going up against the 129 sst.

                              I was looking for it too, it was not listed yesterday.
