In the world of precision shooting and hunting, Sierra stands as a symbol of uncompromising accuracy and ballistic excellence. Whether you are on the competitive range or tracking game in the field, Sierra bullets deliver that vital edge in performance reliability.
Entering this storied tradition is the 6.5mm bullet—a caliber experiencing a renaissance among marksmen worldwide. With its .264-inch diameter and 140-grain weight, it is crafted for those who demand nothing but superior performance at extended ranges. The Hollow Point Boat Tail Match design ensures aerodynamic efficiency, making it an ideal choice for competitive shooters aiming to excel up to 1000 yards.
Each box contains 100 rounds of these finely engineered projectiles, offering consistent precision shot after shot. The sectional density rests at .287, providing optimal penetration characteristics essential for long-range accuracy enthusiasts.
Ballistic coefficients stand impressive across various velocity spectrums:
- A coefficient of .535 at velocities exceeding 2800 feet per second.
- A coefficient of .526 between speeds ranging from 2800 to 2000 fps.
- And finally, a steady .521 when operating below the threshold of 2000 fps.
While renowned globally for setting records with their MatchKing series, it's crucial to note these bullets are not typically recommended for most hunting scenarios due to their specific construction geared towards competition rather than explosive expansion required in traditional hunting contexts.
For those seeking unparalleled consistency and pinpoint precision in medium- and high-capacity cartridges like the venerable Scandinavian service round—the Sierra's #1740 bullet remains unmatched in delivering results where they matter most.
