Sierra 6mm .243 Caliber 70 Grain HPBT MatchKing Ammunition
When it comes to precision and unparalleled performance in competitive shooting, the Sierra 70 grain HPBT MatchKing stands as a benchmark. Designed for record-breaking accuracy, this bullet has become the choice of champions in centerfire competitions up to 400 yards.
The hallmark of the MatchKing series lies in its meticulous design—each bullet crafted with precise concentricity and uniformity that delivers incredible accuracy. The #1505 model boasts these qualities, establishing itself swiftly as a preferred option among marksmen since its introduction in 1974.
This ammunition is packaged with care, offering shooters 100 rounds per box. Each projectile features a sectional density of .169 and carries distinct ballistic coefficients: .259 at velocities above 2800 feet per second (fps), .257 between speeds of 2800 fps and down to 2200 fps, settling at .270 below those thresholds.
While primarily designed for bench rest applications, this cartridge also finds utility in handguns chambered for similar calibers when engaging targets at medium range. However, it's crucial to note that while they excel on paper targets or silhouettes such as NRA half-size figures due to their precision build, these bullets are not recommended for hunting purposes where explosive expansion is desired.
The Sierra MatchKing continues to be celebrated globally by sport shooters who demand nothing less than superior consistency from their equipment—a testament to its enduring legacy within elite shooting circles.
