The 130 grain #1820 GameKing bullet is a boat tail partner to the 130 grain #1830 Pro-Hunter flatbase bullet, with both having Spitzer point shapes. Like its partner, the #1820 GameKing bullet has a double taper jacket construction for good penetration and dependable expansion on medium game, together with traditional Sierra accuracy. Accurate hunting rifles firing this bullet near maximum loads frequently give half minute of angle groups. The 130 grain #1820 SBT is well suited to long-range shooting where its high ballistic coefficient, flat trajectory, and excellent energy retention complement its inherent accuracy.

This bullet was developed after extensive research and a year and a half of testing by Sierra, and it exemplifies our commitment to quality and performance of our products. The jacket of this bullet is formed from the heaviest Sierra cup through Sierra's unique four-station draw to very precise dimensions. A very hard 3% antimony lead alloy core is inserted, and the bullet is given the classic Sierra SBT shape. Designed especially for the 375 H&H Magnum cartridge, this bullet has excellent expansion and deep penetration on heavy game at all ranges for a wide variety of hunting situations. Sierra has received many reports of 5-shot groups at 100 yards that measured less than half an inch extreme spread! An exceptionally high ballistic coefficient and smashing down-range performance combine to make this an ideal bullet in a 375 H&H Magnum or 378 Weatherby Magnum for the largest game on the North American continent and for heavy thin-skinned African game.
