Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets, 6.5mm/.264 123gr HPBT (500ct)

Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets, 6.5mm/.264 123gr HPBT (500ct) (brand part no. 1727C) fill the gap for a mid-weight, high-ballistic-coefficient bullet in the ever-growing 6.5mm long-range crowd. This 123-grain hollow point boat tail is a popular choice among long-range target and Silhouette competitors who need a bullet lighter than the heaviest 6.5mm options without giving up downrange performance. Sierra built it with a longer ogive, a smaller meplat, and an improved boat tail to preserve downrange efficiency, enhance accuracy, and reduce wind drift. As with the rest of the MatchKing line, Sierra does not recommend this bullet for most hunting or varmint applications, since its heavier jacket won’t expand as reliably as a lightly jacketed bullet.
