Sierra MatchKing 6.5mm 120gr Hollow Point Boat Tail

Sierra MatchKing 6.5mm 120-Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail

Sierra's MatchKing bullets represent the pinnacle of target ammunition design. These rounds are engineered from the ground up with one singular purpose: delivering match-winning accuracy.

Precision Engineering

Exacting Manufacturing Standards:

• Jacket concentricity held to 0.0003 inch maximum variation
• Weight tolerance of ±0.3 grain per bullet
• Hollow point design with minimal meplat for optimized ballistic coefficient
• Boat tail configuration reduces drag and improves downrange performance

Performance Characteristics

The 120-grain #1725 MatchKing excels in medium-capacity 6.5mm cartridges, delivering consistent performance from the bench to 600 yards. Its high ballistic coefficient—ranging from .403 to .421 depending on velocity—ensures excellent downrange momentum and minimal wind deflection.

Ballistic Coefficients:

• .421 at 3100 fps and above
• .409 between 3100 and 2800 fps
• .403 between 2800 and 2000 fps
• .417 at 2000 fps and below

Intended Use

These bullets are purpose-built for competitive shooting disciplines including benchrest, high-power rifle competitions, and silhouette events. Their record-setting accuracy has made them the choice of serious competitors worldwide.

Important Note: Sierra recommends MatchKing bullets exclusively for target and competition shooting. While occasionally used for varmint hunting, they are not designed for reliable expansion on game animals and are not recommended for hunting applications.
