Sierra Bullets 7Mm 185Gr Tmk Tipped Matchking 500/Box
Sierra Bullets' 7mm 185-grain Tipped MatchKing ammunition represents a precision reloader's choice for long-range target work and competitive shooting. These polymer-tipped rifle bullets combine Sierra's legendary accuracy heritage with aerodynamic enhancement—the acetal resin tip reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient compared to traditional MatchKing designs, translating to flatter trajectories and more consistent velocity performance downrange. The boat-tail profile further refines flight characteristics, making these rounds a natural fit for shooters chasing tight groups at distance.
Reliable feeding through magazine-fed firearms is a practical advantage baked into the Tipped MatchKing design. The tip prevents deformation during magazine loading cycles and contributes to more predictable performance from round to round—critical when you're working up loads or testing ammunition at the bench. Each box contains 500 bullets, a volume that suits both regular practice sessions and serious load development projects.
These 0.284" diameter bullets are purpose-built for accuracy-demanding applications: precision rifle competitions, target shooting at extended ranges, and benchrest scenarios where consistency matters most. Sierra's manufacturing standards ensure dimensional uniformity and concentricity that reloaders depend on. This is specialized ammunition for the handloader who values shot-to-shot repeatability over hunting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ballistic advantage of the polymer tip on these bullets?
The acetal resin tip reduces drag compared to flat-nose MatchKing designs, improving the ballistic coefficient. This means faster velocity retention and less wind drift at distance—advantages that compound the farther you shoot.
Will these bullets feed reliably in my magazine-fed rifle?
Yes. The Tipped MatchKing design was developed specifically to feed smoothly through magazine-fed firearms without tip deformation during loading and cycling, unlike traditional MatchKing bullets.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
No. Sierra does not recommend MatchKing or Tipped MatchKing bullets for hunting applications. These are precision target and competition bullets, not designed for hunting-grade terminal performance.
What reloading applications are these best suited for?
Tipped MatchKing 185gr 7mm bullets are purpose-built for precision rifle competitions, long-range target shooting, benchrest shooting, and handloaders seeking maximum accuracy and consistency at extended distances.
