For decades, marksmen and hunters have turned to Sierra for precision and superior ballistic performance. Whether on the range or in the field, Sierra bullets provide that extra margin of confidence you can rely upon.
The 6.5mm/.264 caliber bullet has seen a resurgence in popularity among shooters and manufacturers alike. This renewed interest has introduced a new generation to the venerable 6.5x55mm cartridge—a staple among Scandinavian service rifles and hunting traditions.
This specific offering from Sierra is their renowned Hollow Point Boat Tail MatchKing bullet, weighing in at 142 grains. With its longer ogive radius compared to lighter variants, it boasts an impressive ballistic coefficient—demonstrating less sensitivity to crosswinds while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
The design philosophy behind these MatchKing bullets prioritizes record-setting precision rather than hunting applications where explosive expansion is desired—particularly when compared with other varmint-specific projectiles like Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts.
Please note: To achieve optimal stabilization and maximize performance potential, this bullet requires a barrel twist rate of no slower than one turn in eight inches (1x8"). For those who demand excellence from their equipment, Sierra continues to be synonymous with unwavering quality and unmatched capability.
