Performance Profile
Designed for competitive target shooting and long-range precision work, these bullets deliver the record-setting accuracy MatchKing bullets are known for worldwide. The refined geometry and pointing operation provide exceptional ballistic performance downrange.
Important Considerations
MatchKing bullets are purpose-built for target and competition use. They are not recommended for hunting applications due to their design characteristics. Varmint hunters should note that while MatchKings are sometimes used for varmint shooting, they do not provide the same reliable explosive expansion as Sierra's Hornet Blitz BlitzKing or Varminter bullets at equivalent velocities.
