Sierra 338cal 215gr Gameking #2610
The 338 Winchester Magnum cartridge was intended for these projectiles. A thick double-tapered jacket and robust core ensure controlled but reliable expansion and deep penetration. For both rounds, the Sierra Spitzer Boat Tail design ensures a flat trajectory, low wind sensitivity, and accurate accuracy at long range. The 215 grain #2610 bullet was created for the 338 Winchester Magnum as a higher-velocity, lighter bullet, while it is also considered light for the 340 Weatherby Magnum.
This bullet is appropriate for medium to elk-sized animals. The #2610 bullet can endure 338 Winchester Magnum bullet speeds with ease. For reliable expansion, shooters using the 338-06 or similar cartridges must keep loads with the 215 grain #2610 bullet near maximum velocity. Despite the high recoil of maximum loads, hunting rifles have demonstrated exceptional accuracy with this bullet.
Sierra's published .338 Federal information specifically includes the 215gr SBT GameKing among its .338-calibre bullet options and identifies it as suitable for big-game applications.
