Sierra Bullets MATCHKING 6.5MM (.264'') 120GR HOLLOW POINT BOAT TAIL 500/BOX 1725C

The 6.5mm/.264 inch bore has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest. Several rifle manufacturers currently produce 6.5x55mm sporters exposing a new generation of shooters to this famous old Scandinavian service and hunting cartridge. Competitive HighPower and Silhouette shooters have also shown great interest in the 6.5mm bore size.

The 120 grain #1725 bullet is designed for BenchRest and HighPower competitions to 600 yards in medium capacity 6.5mm rifle cartridges. In handguns the 120 grain #1725 MatchKing bullet has been very successful on the silhouette range and has proven itself on other targets. Because of its high ballistic coefficient it delivers high momentum downrange and has low sensitivity to crosswinds. It has been the choice of handgun shooters worldwide.

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.
