For decades, marksmen and hunters alike have turned to Sierra as the benchmark for accuracy and ballistic performance. Whether you're on the range or in the field, Sierra bullets deliver a level of precision that you can trust.
The 6mm .243 caliber, 107 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) MatchKing bullet is no exception. With an impressive track record across various competitive disciplines, this projectile has set new records and claimed national championships in events such as National Match High Power and Silhouette shooting. These competitions demand extreme accuracy at long range—a challenge that these bullets meet with ease.
This particular bullet boasts remarkable sectional density at .259, ensuring stable flight characteristics essential for pinpoint accuracy. Its ballistic coefficients are equally commendable: .547 at velocities above 2500 fps; tapering slightly to .542 between 1800 and 2500 fps; .529 from 1600 to 1800 fps; and finally settling at .519 below those speeds.
While renowned globally for their record-setting precision, it is important to note that MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications due to their design which does not guarantee explosive expansion upon impact—especially when compared to alternatives like Hornet Blitz or Varminter rounds designed specifically for varmint control.
These bullets require a barrel twist rate of no less than one turn in eight inches (1x8”) or faster to ensure optimal stabilization during flight. Packaged conveniently with 100 rounds per box, they offer ample supply whether you’re fine-tuning your skills on paper targets or engaging in competition-level scenarios where every shot counts.
