The Sierra MatchKing bullets stand as the pinnacle of precision and performance, earning their rightful place in the annals of shooting excellence. For decades, competitive shooters have trusted these projectiles to deliver unparalleled accuracy, a trust proven by numerous state, national, and world records. Born from a legacy that began with the 150-grain #2190 for 300-meter international matches in the late 1950s—debuting prominently at the 1959 Pan American Games—the MatchKings have been synonymous with superior marksmanship ever since.
Designed originally for rifles but versatile enough for handguns like Remington's high-performance XP-100 series, these bullets excel across disciplines—from handgun silhouettes to long-range target competitions. The hallmark of Sierra’s MatchKing design is its ability to maintain superb accuracy and flat trajectory while delivering high momentum with minimal susceptibility to crosswinds across all distances.
While renowned worldwide for setting standards in precision shooting, it's important to note that MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not generally recommended for hunting purposes. Although some may use them for varmint hunting due to their impressive performance characteristics, they do not offer the same explosive expansion upon impact found in other specialized designs such as Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts.
Sierra’s commitment through its MatchKing line ensures every shot counts when it matters most—a testament appreciated by marksmen who demand nothing less than perfection from each round fired.
