Introducing the latest advancement in precision shooting from Sierra Bullets, the renowned leader in accuracy and performance. The new 7mm .284 Caliber 197 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) MatchKing (#1997) is a testament to Sierra's commitment to excellence.
This bullet stands out with its elongated ogive design, enhancing aerodynamics for superior long-range capabilities. A final meplat reducing operation further refines its profile, maximizing ballistic coefficient and ensuring optimal wind resistance and velocity retention. Such features make this projectile ideal for shooters who demand consistency at extended distances.
The innovative bearing surface to ogive junction employs a precise 1.5-degree angle, mirroring that of many match rifle chamber throats. This ensures flawless bullet-to-bore alignment, contributing significantly to its record-setting accuracy potential.
With sectional density rated at .349 and exceptional ballistic coefficients ranging from 0.780 down to 0.711 depending on velocity conditions, this bullet promises unmatched stability across various speeds—provided your barrel twist rate meets or exceeds the required fast pace of 1x7.5 inches.
While the MatchKing series is celebrated globally for unparalleled precision in target shooting arenas, it's crucial to note these bullets are not designed for hunting applications where expansion upon impact is necessary. For such needs involving varmint control or similar tasks requiring explosive terminal effects, alternatives like Hornet Blitz or Varminter may be more suitable choices due to their construction tailored towards those specific engagements.
