Sierra Matchking Rifle Bullets 6.5Mm / .264 Cal .264" 123 Gr Hpbt Match 500
The Sierra MatchKing 6.5mm rifle bullets are precision-engineered rounds built for reloaders who demand match-grade accuracy on the range. Each 123-grain hollow point boat tail bullet in this 500-count box represents Sierra's relentless focus on consistency—the core principle behind MatchKing's reputation for winning target competitions worldwide. These bullets are purpose-built for the reloader seeking exceptional accuracy in precision rifle disciplines, benchrest, and long-range target shooting.
What sets MatchKing apart is the manufacturing rigor behind every round. Sierra holds bullet weight to within ±0.3 grain and maintains concentricity to a maximum variation of 0.0003 inch, tolerances that matter when you're chasing tight groups at distance. The thin jacket, small hollow point meplat, and boat tail profile work together to deliver a high ballistic coefficient that minimizes wind deflection and maximizes downrange consistency. These aren't compromise bullets—they're the result of decades of target-shooting feedback refined into every component.
MatchKing bullets have earned their place in the reloading bench of serious precision shooters and competition reloaders. The 123-grain weight in 6.5mm caliber is a proven platform for extended-range target work and long-range discipline shooting. This is match-grade ammunition for the reloader who refuses to settle for factory tolerances and understands that accuracy starts with the bullet.
