The Sierra 6.5mm 153-Grain Tipped MatchKing Bullets, 500-Count (brand part no. 7450C) are a 153-grain 6.5mm bullet from Sierra built as a Tipped MatchKing (TMK) projectile for handloaders. The acetal-resin tip reduces drag and improves ballistic efficiency over a standard MatchKing, for flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and reliable feeding in magazine-fed rifles. Reloaders load this bullet for competition and long-range target shooting, not recommended for hunting, seating it over a charge worked up for their own rifle or pistol. As a component bullet, it ships without powder or primer, ready for the reloading bench.
