Ammo & The Strain Gauge

Had my 308 Win rifle measure today @ 55200 psi.

It is pushing a 150gr sbt Sierra Gameking @ 2975fps with 46.4 gr Varget and shooting 5 shot groups between .881" & .943" @ 200yds.

My biggest question is how are these bullets out shooting the premium polymer ones. The Hornady stuff that works so good in all my other is @ 1.125" @ 200 yards

I can't answer your question, however I will tell you that the Sierra Gamekings have an excellent reputation for accuracy. In fact standard M1 Garand practice is to us the 150 grain Gamekings as they are much more accurate than the military match bullets. Having said that, I don't believe that the GKs are more accurate than the corresponding 150 gr. SMKs.
