Sierra Bullets

[bearhunter338-06]

I have 200 + .284 cal. Sierra 140gr Game King and Pro Hunter bullets. My question is this: are these bullets suitable for large game such as Moose and elk maybe bear.

They say Prohunter bullets are a little tougher, but I don't think 140gr is the best choice for moose.

Yep!
If you are shooting them from a standard caliber (non-magnum). They should work fine

If you are shooting a magnum rifle, they may tend to expand very quickly and not penetrate deeply. At longer distances, this will no longer be a problem.

This is just my opinion, and I have used these bullets in both magnums and non magnums. They have always worked fine for me.

Have fun and, good luck!

I've used the 140 gr Game Kings and Pro Hunters out of a .280 of deer. They work very well, and to me are ideal for deer. I'd use them happily on a black bear, but haven't done so.
On moose and elk, I'd be sure to only take easy broadside shots. They'd probably work fine, but my comfort level wouldn't be as high as if I were using a premium bullet.

With moose and elk, it best to either use a cup and core bullet [like the sierra] that is heavy for caliber, or if you want to go lighter, then use a premium bullet.

Just my $0.02
