Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets .270 cal .277" 135 gr HPBT MATCH 100/ct
$62.24
The Sierra MatchKing .270 caliber 135-grain rifle bullet is purpose-built for shooters who demand match-grade accuracy at the bench or on the range. These hollow point boat tail (HPBT) bullets represent Sierra's most exacting target ammunition design, engineered from the ground up to print tight groups and deliver repeatable, record-setting precision. If you're reloading for .270 Winchester or similar cartridges and accuracy is your primary mission, MatchKings belong in your consideration set.
What separates MatchKing bullets from standard rifle ammunition is Sierra's obsessive attention to concentricity and weight consistency. Each bullet is drawn to a maximum jacket variation of 0.0003 inch and sorted to within plus or minus 0.3 grain—tolerances that compound into measurable accuracy gains when you're handloading. The hollow point design includes a small meplat (the flat tip), optimizing the ballistic coefficient without sacrificing the precision required for tight velocity nodes.
The boat tail configuration further reduces drag and air resistance downrange, a hallmark of Sierra's MatchKing line. This 100-count box gives you enough bullets for serious load development or a full competition season of practice. Keep in mind: these bullets are explicitly designed for target and match shooting. Sierra themselves do not recommend MatchKing bullets for hunting applications, so reserve them for the range where their exceptional accuracy will shine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .270 rifles will these bullets work with?
These .277" diameter bullets are designed for .270 Winchester and similar .270 cartridges. Always verify your specific rifle's bore diameter and chamber before loading. Consult published reloading data for your exact cartridge and rifle combination.
Are MatchKing bullets suitable for hunting?
No. Sierra explicitly does not recommend MatchKing bullets for hunting. They are optimized exclusively for target shooting and competition use. If you're hunting, select bullets designed for that purpose.
What's included in the box?
You receive 100 loose Sierra MatchKing .270 135-grain HPBT bullets ready for handloading.
How do MatchKing bullets compare to standard bullets for load development?
MatchKing bullets are engineered to tighter tolerances than standard rifle bullets. The controlled jacket concentricity (0.0003" max variation) and weight consistency (±0.3 grain) mean your load development will see more repeatable velocity nodes and tighter group potential, giving you faster path to accurate loads.
