The Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet line stands as a testament to precision and innovation in long-range shooting. By incorporating an acetal resin tip, Sierra has enhanced the aerodynamic efficiency of their MatchKing bullets, resulting in a markedly improved ballistic coefficient. This advancement translates into superior flight characteristics and accuracy over extended distances—a crucial advantage for competitive shooters.
Responding to demands from dedicated marksmen, Sierra introduces the 195-grain variant of the Tipped MatchKing bullet. Designed specifically for F-Class Open matches and other high-stakes competitions, this heavier projectile meets the needs of those seeking unparalleled performance at range. However, it's important to note that while these bullets excel in target shooting scenarios worldwide, they are not recommended for most hunting applications due to their specialized design.
The TMK's precise engineering allows it to maintain stability with a barrel twist rate of 1x10" or faster. Its ballistic coefficients reflect its optimized design: achieving 0.610 at velocities above 2000 fps; maintaining 0.595 between speeds of 1600 fps and 2000 fps; and holding steady at 0.560 below 1600 fps.
Sierra's commitment to pushing boundaries ensures that each shot you take with the Tipped MatchKing is one step closer to perfection—whether you're competing on an international stage or honing your skills on home soil.
