Sierra hpbt vs sbt

[wild1]

Can someone tell me the difference these two have on animals? I see the difference in the bullet. Just wondering if they open up them same?

 

[Amphibious]

do you mean the Gameking and Matchking?

Gameking is a SPBT and rather explosive on game.

Matchking is a HPBT and is absolutely NOT for game.

No they are both game king. One is a spritzer boat tail and the other is a hollow point boat tail. Looks like the coeffient of the spritzer is higher as the lead forms a point whereas the hpbt is just open. I noticed the shape on the sbt is closer to the matchking also.

I was planning to use them on coyote this week. I have about 25 of the hpbt gamekings left I was going to make up and take also.

SBT are a nice shooting bullet. I've had good luck with them on the game I've taken.

the game king gave me the fastest kill i've had on big game in recent years. 450 lb blackie vs 215 gr game king in a 338 win mag.

"...spritzer..." Sierra spitzers are soft points with that wee bit of lead sticking out of the point. A HPBT has a jacket that is thinner towards the point (not always a match bullet, Sierra makes several HPBT Gamekings in several calibres). The jacket is designed to open in a more controlled manner with more penetration. Neither you nor whatever beastie you shoot will be able to tell the difference.
Match bullets aren't designed to expand at all.
