SIG AMMO 308WIN 165GR GK 20/200

Description

The Sig Sauer Marksman Hunter in .308 Winchester is built around the Sierra GameKing bullet, a projectile with a long track record in hunting applications. The GameKing’s hollow point boat tail construction serves two practical purposes: the boat tail reduces drag as the bullet travels downrange, helping it retain velocity and energy at longer distances, while the hollow point initiates controlled expansion on impact, delivering energy transfer into the target rather than passing through cleanly. That combination makes this load genuinely suited to medium and large game hunting, where shot placement and terminal performance both matter.

Sig selected brass casing and a Boxer primer for this load. Boxer-primed brass is reloadable for those who work up custom loads between seasons, and brass as a material handles the pressure cycle more forgivingly than steel-cased alternatives, which matters for reliable extraction in bolt guns running hot after a morning in the field. At 165 grains, the bullet sits in a practical middle ground for .308 Winchester: heavier than the 150-grain loads often chosen for varmint and lighter deer work, but not as slow-moving as the 180-grain options some hunters prefer for elk-class animals at closer range. Muzzle velocity runs at 2,700 fps, which gives the bullet enough retained energy at hunting distances to do its job cleanly. Muzzle energy is rated at 2,670 ft-lbs, a figure that reflects this cartridge’s reputation as a capable round across a range of North American game species. Packaged in boxes of 20, with cases of 200 available, it suits both pre-season zeroing sessions and extended hunts without requiring bulk storage of a format you may not need.
