Sierra Matchking Rifle Bullets (500/Ct) 6.5Mm /.264 Cal .264" 120 Gr Hpbt

The Sierra Matchking 6.5mm/.264 caliber rifle bullets are precision-engineered for competitive shooters and reloaders who demand match-grade accuracy. This 500-count box of 120-grain hollow point boat tail (HPBT) bullets is built for benchrest and high power rifle competition out to 600 yards, particularly in medium-capacity 6.5mm cartridges where the 6.5x55mm and other modern 6.5mm platforms have seen renewed interest among both competitive shooters and hunters. Matchkings are the standard-bearer for consistent, record-setting accuracy on the target range.

What sets these bullets apart is their high ballistic coefficient, which translates to excellent downrange momentum and minimal drift in crosswind conditions—critical advantages when every tenth of an inch matters at distance. The 120-grain weight hits a sweet spot for 6.5mm rifles, offering stable flight and repeatable performance across multiple platforms. Whether you're hand-loading for a precision rifle or fine-tuning loads for competition, these bullets reward attention to detail with tight groups and predictable ballistics.

It's important to note that Matchking bullets are purpose-built for target shooting and competition. While some reloaders do use them for varmint work, their design prioritizes accuracy over expansion, so they're not the best choice for hunting game where reliable terminal performance is essential. For competition and range work, though, they remain a top choice among serious shooters worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 6.5mm rifles will these bullets work in?

These 120-grain Matchkings are designed for medium-capacity 6.5mm rifle cartridges, including the 6.5x55mm and other modern 6.5mm platforms. Always verify that the bullet diameter (.264 inch) and weight are compatible with your specific rifle and load data.

Are these bullets good for hunting?

No. Matchking bullets are purpose-built for target shooting and competition. Their design prioritizes accuracy over expansion, so they won't provide the reliable terminal performance needed for hunting game. Consider varminter or dedicated hunting bullets if you're loading for field use.

What's the ballistic coefficient of the 120-grain Matchking?

The high ballistic coefficient is a standout feature that delivers excellent downrange momentum and minimal wind drift, but the specific ballistic coefficient value is not provided. Check Sierra's load manual or website for detailed ballistic data.

How many bullets come in a box?

Each box contains 500 bullets, providing plenty of ammunition for practice sessions, load development, and competition shooting.
