Thanks for the reply. Federal Premium lads the 117gr Sierra GameKing SBT. But I am not aware that anyone loads the 120gr HPBT GameKing.

I shoot Sierra Gamekings outof my 25-06 with 51.5 grains of IMR 4831 and a Magnum Primer. Flat shooting very accurate load. Bullet may not exit every time but I havent ever had a deer go more than 30 yds after being hit. Most were instant drops on the spot. I have bought some Berger VLD 115 grains to try but havent loaded them yet.

much as I love the 120gr Sierra HPBT, I would not recommend it for long range. The BC is pretty pedestrian for a 257 bullet of that weight
