Sierra Matchking Rifle Bullets .264 Cal/6.5Mm .264" 130 Gr Hpbt Match 500/C
$285.08
Sierra Matchking rifle bullets in .264 caliber deliver the precision that competitive shooters and handloaders demand. These 130-grain HPBT (hollow point boat tail) match bullets are engineered for accuracy first—the kind of accuracy that has won more target competitions than any other manufacturer's match rounds. If you're loading ammo for precision rifle matches, benchrest, or long-range target work, Matchking bullets are built to reward your reloading effort with tighter groups and consistent performance downrange.
Each bullet is held to exacting standards: jacket concentricity is controlled to 0.0003 inches maximum variation, and weight is sorted to within ±0.3 grain. That level of consistency matters when you're chasing tiny groups or competing at distance. The hollow point design includes a small meplat (flat tip) that boosts ballistic coefficient, while the boat tail shape further reduces drag and stabilizes flight. You're getting manufacturing quality that reflects Sierra's reputation for precision ammunition components.
This box contains 500 bullets—enough for serious load development and range sessions. Fair warning: Matchking bullets are competition and target rounds by design. Sierra explicitly does not recommend them for hunting applications. They're purpose-built for paper, steel, and precision—the domain where they've earned their legend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .264 caliber HPBT match bullet used for?
Sierra Matchking .264 130gr bullets are purpose-built for target shooting and precision rifle competitions—benchrest, long-range matches, and range accuracy work. They are not recommended for hunting.
Why does jacket concentricity matter in match ammunition?
Concentricity—how precisely the jacket is drawn around the core—directly affects bullet stability and flight consistency. Sierra's 0.0003 inch maximum variation tolerance ensures that bullet-to-bullet performance is uniform, which tightens groups and improves accuracy in competition.
What's included in a box of Sierra Matchking .264 bullets?
Each box contains 500 finished bullets ready for reloading.
How do boat tail and small meplat designs improve accuracy?
The boat tail reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient for more stable flight at distance. The small meplat (flat point) also increases ballistic coefficient. Together, these design features deliver flatter trajectories and more consistent downrange performance—critical for precision target work.
