The Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets in 6.5mm/.264 caliber, 130 grain hollow point boat tail (HPBT) (Sierra part no. 1729C) carry the MatchKing name that’s won more target competitions worldwide than any other bullet line.

It’s the choice of serious competitive shooters who need repeatable, predictable performance on the line.
