Thread: Sierras new Game changer bullets

Its interesting @Mooseman, I'm seeing a little bit of reluctance in the last couple of statements in the text to give them a wholehearted thumbs up?

Most of our game animals here are pretty thin skinned and light bodied compared to elk or bear for example. I am 90% sure from my conversations with the bloke at Sierra that it is the North American proper big game that they have targeted these bullets at. Likewise I am seeing more and more very ordinary reviews coming in from the US after the deer season, last quarter of last year...

In higher SD calibres like 6.5, hard bullets are a worry on light bodies game.

Gut feel is that compared to a fragmenting bullet design a lot of guys are going to find out the hard way that deer can run a very long way if their locomotion isn't immediately disabled by a GameChanger. Narrow wound channels is a concern for me. If I compare some of the neat pics of mushrooms in the marketing material, to the wide open petals and fragmented lead and bits of jacket I get from an ELD-X, I know which one I would rather have doing the work at the business end.
