For my next few hunts I plan to keep using the Sierra Gamechanger and see more first hand results. Plus I already worked up a load using the bullet and it is accurate with my rifle. Thanks for all the feedback.

I finished processing the elk quarters and still did not see any signs of the entrance or exit of the bullet. No bloodshot meat or damaged bones. I did find a very small lead fragment in the heart near the wound channel. The fragment leads me to believe that the bullet did mushroom to some...

I did not see any broken ribs. I will process the quarters in a day or two and look for more signs.

Thanks for sharing your photo. Comparing our experiences, I wonder if your shot might have hit bone to help it expand while my shot may have missed the bones/ribs. In either case we both still got our animals. I hope others continue to share their experiences.

Also, open sights are much quicker than looking down a rifle with a high-powered scope especially when at a close distance.

I was very close to it and quite comfortable with my side arm.

I don't have any more photos that would help. It was getting late and I was in a hurry to pack it out. I do still have the heart. I could maybe hold something for scale next to it. Maybe even cut it open along the puncture l. I did shoot it broadside so I don't think the bullet went into the...

When I came up to the animal it was still alive. It was lying down in distress. When it saw me close it even started to stand up. I did draw my side arm and finish it off by shooting it in the head.

Maybe this will get others to share their experiences good or bad with photos.

Yeah being this new of a bullet it was hard to find some real world experiences. Maybe I'm a little aggressive but I wanted people to easily find what I had experienced.

It was still alive when I got to it. It even tried to stand up again so l quickly drew my side arm and shot it in the head to finish it.

In case the photos didn't load correctly here they are a different way.

I shot a cow elk at about 100 yards with a Sierra Gamechanger just a few days ago. It was the .308 dia. 165 gr. bullet with 56 grs. of H4350 loaded as a 30-06. The bullet went right through the heart leaving a fairly small hole on each side. I did not recover the bullet. I have seen other brands...
