Sierra MatchKing Bullets 6mm 105gr HPBT/CN 100/ct
The Sierra MatchKing 6mm 105gr HPBT/CN bullet is purpose-built for target shooters and long-range competitors who demand repeatable, record-setting accuracy. Each box contains 100 precision-engineered rounds designed for match shooting, across-the-course competition, and serious target work where consistency matters more than anything else. The MatchKing name carries real credibility in precision circles—these bullets have earned that reputation through decades of winning matches and setting benchmarks.
The engineering here is straightforward and effective: a long ogive paired with a small meplat and optimized boat tail design work together to preserve velocity downrange, tighten groups, and reduce wind drift—exactly what a target shooter needs when every tenth of an inch counts. The 0.243" diameter fits standard 6mm/.243 Winchester chamberings, and the closed-nose hollow point boat tail (HPBT/CN) construction is optimized for precision, not expansion. That focus means these rounds aren't designed for hunting applications, though some shooters do use them for varmint work; they simply don't deliver the explosive expansion you'd expect from dedicated hunting rounds at comparable speeds.
Note that your barrel twist rate matters: Sierra specs a 1:7.5 or faster twist to stabilize this 105-grain bullet properly. If you're pushing the limits of a slower twist, talk to us before you load. The ballistic coefficient (G1: 0.577, G7: 0.284) tells you what to expect in wind and at distance—solid numbers for a 6mm match round that keep the bullet flying clean and true.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate do I need for Sierra MatchKing 105gr 6mm bullets?
Sierra recommends a barrel twist rate of 1:7.5 or faster to properly stabilize the 105-grain MatchKing. If your barrel has a slower twist, these bullets may not perform as designed.
Can I use these for hunting?
MatchKing bullets are designed strictly for target shooting and match competition. While some shooters use them for varmint hunting, their construction doesn't provide the reliable expansion needed for hunting applications. For hunting, dedicated hunting or varmint bullets are the better choice.
How many rounds are in a box?
Each box contains 100 Sierra MatchKing bullets, giving you plenty of rounds for practice, load development, and competition work.
What's the difference between the G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients?
The G1 BC (0.577) and G7 BC (0.284) describe how the bullet cuts through air using different reference standards. G7 is generally more accurate for long-range calculations with modern bullet shapes. Both numbers tell you this is a solid 6mm match bullet with good downrange efficiency.
