Sierra GameChanger

[grosventrehunter]

Does anyone shoot these? If so what kind of results are you seeing on paper and while hunting. I came across a few boxes (.284) and plan on trying them out.

They’ve always shown good accuracy. But you don’t want to shoot them into game with much velocity. They are pretty soft.

Hmmm, I've heard the opposite about the game changer, they seem to have a very thick jacket on them.

Tony, I have heard the same about the jackets. I've read people are getting really good results on paper, but there isn't a lot of information on how they perform on animals/game.

I’ve shot them out of one of my 6.5 man-bun-guns and they’re very accurate but I’ve never used them on game so I’m not any help.
I’d bet they work just fine based on the fact that Sierra has a pretty decent R&D department.....but that’s just a guess.

I think Chesterwyo is confusing the new Sierra game changer with the older sierra game king bullets. Game king was just a little tougher then Rem. Core lokts and a great deer-antelope bullet, but a little fragile for using on larger game like elk.
If Sierra has put on a thicker jacket for controlled expansion the game changer may be a good bullet to use.
The one thing I can say about Sierra bullets is that over the years of testing many rifles, I got my best accuracy the majority of the time with Sierra bullets. That includes calibers from 22-250 to 300 mag and about 5 calibers in between those two.
