[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2330805, member: 106845"] That’s a Sierra Tipped GameKing. They made the jackets on those significantly thicker than all their other bullets. This one measured .046” and a typical MatchKing, GameKing, or Tipped MatchKing measured around .026” thick. The Tipped GameKings also have a harder lead alloy core than any other Sierra. Sierra puts a 2000fps minimum impact velocity on these, and I agree with them. They’re quite tough and need a good deal of speed and impact resistance to expand well. They’re best in faster shooting cartridges and closer ranges. If you haven’t seen it, I have another post like this with many other bullets and jacket thicknesses posted. It’s here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/bullet-construction.283735/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
