The 160 grain #1925 Sierra Gameking Hollow Point Boat Tail is a true magnum bullet being somewhat "tougher" than the #1920 for deeper penetration. Contrary to a usual assumption this hollow point bullet is not particularly fragile. The nose opening is closed slightly to help retard initial upset but even expansion is assured by four skives cut into the jacket. Of course there is no exposed lead to be deformed in the magazine. The result is an excellent bullet for many big game applications.
The 160 grain #1925 bullet is far too "hard" for hunting with a handgun. This bullet can be used in all 7mm cartridges for silhouettes and target shooting.
The #1925 was introduced in 1988.
