For rifles this bullet is formed with a thin-walled jacket and soft core in the traditional roundnose shape for cartridges such as the 22 Hornet 22 K-Hornet or 218 Bee at muzzle velocities in the 2600 to 2900 fps range. The thin jacket and rounded nose of this bullet provides outstanding accuracy and effective expansion on small varmints at these modest velocities. This bullet is ideal for barrels with 1×16″ twist rates and muzzle velocities that require a “short” bullet for proper stability. It is also effective in rifles firing medium-capacity cartridges such as the 222 Remington and 223 Remington for target and varmint shooting at muzzle velocities up to 3500 fps.
For handguns this bullet with a thin jacket and lots of exposed lead are ideal for all centerfire cartridges in 22 caliber. It will range in expansion from being a varmint bullet at Hornet handgun velocities to an explosive “Blitz” style Varminter at 223 Remington velocities. The bullets with a round nose shape are capable of outstanding accuracy especially at short to moderate ranges.
The 6.5mm/.264 inch bore has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest. Several rifle manufacturers currently produce 6.5x55mm sporting rifles exposing a new generation of shooters to this famous old Scandinavian service and hunting cartridge. Competitive High-Power and Silhouette shooters have also shown great interest in the 6.5mm bore size.
The 144 grain #1744 bullet is a superb competitor for ranges out to 1000 yards in medium- and high-capacity 6.5mm cartridges.
While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts.
This bullet was designed with one thing in mind and that was to shoot 1000 yards in a 308 Winchester. To accomplish that we added length to the boattail and engineered a forgiving tangent ogive with a closed nose. Doing this gave it a .527 BC which keeps it super sonic past 1000 yards in a 308 chamber. This bullet is basically a redesign of the legendary 168MK which we will continue to manufacture. Anyone that enjoys shooting medium to long range with a 308 or even the big magnums will love this bullet.
The 107-grain Hollow Point Boat Tail Sierra MatchKing X (MKX) is a mirrored image of the renowned 107-grain MatchKing sharing the same ogive profile and external dimensions. This means you can switch between precision match shooting and hunting without making any seating die adjustments.
Engineered for reliable expansion at midrange velocities the MKX delivers match-grade accuracy in a true hunting bullet. With a high ballistic coefficient of 0.477 (G1) it mirrors the performance of its MatchKing counterpart in flight while providing the terminal performance hunters demand. Whether you're ringing steel or taking game the MKX proves you don’t have to sacrifice precision for performance.
Shooters around the world will appreciate the accuracy and extreme long range performance of our new 6.5mm 150 grain HPBT (#1755). A sleek 27 caliber elongated ogive and a final meplat reducing operation (pointing) provide an increased ballistic coefficient for optimal wind resistance and velocity retention. To ensure precise bullet to bore alignment a unique bearing surface to ogive junction uses the same 1.5 degree angle commonly found in many match rifle chamber throats.

These bullets have very thin jackets drawn to an exacting concentricity standard of 0.0003 in maximum variation and their weight is held to within ± 0.3 grain. All MatchKing bullets have a hollow point design with a very small meplat for high ballistic coefficient. The majority of these bullets have a boat tail shape to further minimize drag and improve ballistic coefficient. While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications.
For rifles the 52 grain #1410 bullet offers the shooter all the advantages of a boat tail design for 200 to 300 yard competition.
In handguns chambering cartridges in 22 caliber the 52 grain #1410 MatchKing bullets often deliver superior accuracy in target competition.
