In the realm of precision shooting, Sierra's MatchKing stands as a paragon of accuracy and craftsmanship. Designed with an unwavering commitment to precision, each MatchKing bullet is crafted with thin jackets that adhere to a stringent concentricity standard of 0.0003 inches maximum variation. This meticulous attention ensures uniformity in every shot fired.
The weight consistency is equally impressive, maintained within ± 0.3 grain, underscoring Sierra's dedication to performance excellence. These bullets feature a hollow point design accompanied by a very small meplat—a detail that enhances their ballistic coefficient for superior aerodynamics.
A majority of the MatchKings are engineered with a boat tail shape, further reducing drag and elevating their ballistic efficiency. Such thoughtful engineering has not gone unnoticed; these bullets have been instrumental in securing more target competition victories than those from any other manufacturer worldwide.
While renowned globally for record-setting accuracy, it's important to note that MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications due to their specific design purpose—accuracy rather than expansion or fragmentation upon impact.
The hollow point configuration used across various Sierra lines—including Varminter GameKing and Pro-Hunter—is versatile yet requires careful selection based on intended use. Whether designed for fragmentation or controlled expansion (or none at all in the case of the MatchKing), understanding your needs ensures optimal performance where it counts most: downrange.
