The Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) .243 caliber 95gr bullet (Sierra part no. 7295C) crowns a segment of Sierra’s legendary MatchKing line with an acetal resin tip, reducing aerodynamic drag for a more favorable ballistic coefficient than the standard hollow point MatchKing. The tip also improves reliable feeding in magazine-fed firearms, a real advantage for competition shooters running semi-automatic or detachable-magazine rifles. This bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1-9 inch or faster to stabilize properly, and while it’s occasionally used for varmint hunting, Sierra does not recommend MatchKing or Tipped MatchKing bullets for most hunting applications since they lack the explosive expansion of dedicated varmint bullets.
