Sierra Gamechanger bullets.

I shot some game changers through my 6.5x55 yesterday. They shot pretty good. With 3 groups sub MOA at 100 yards with the best being .481. Rifle is a 700 classic with a 22 inch barrel. My average velocity was 2845fps using IMR4831. I did retrieve a few bullets from the dirt bank. Results were complete jacket core separation.

I'm definitely not as experienced as most of you, but I report this . I am getting .89 groups at just over 3200 with these and RL 33 in my 28 Nosler. I don't have any gel or anything to shoot but I'm bettin they'll turn a big deer's lights out pronto!

But the dirt bank was drt? :)
 
That's what the eldx look like from my dirt berm at 100 yards also...is the copper base thicker? How much does the left o er jacket weigh compared to total bullet weight?
 
About now it's not only the tips of those Sierra GC bullets that is green, I'm green with envy. It might be some time before we get to see any of those in our neck of the woods.
 
That is kind of you to let me know that James but unfortunately Midway won't export anything out of the USA not even Butler Creek scope caps. Steve (RockyMtnMT) mentioned something in a post that exporting bullets costs a lot for the export permits. Our importer will get them in a few months I guess. :(

Suppose I was coming there to hunt. Could I carry them in or ship them ahead or does it have to be loaded ammo?

I guess that answers my questions. I dont believe I'll be trying them.
