Sierra 6.5mm .264 140gr HPBT Match 1740
While MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are known for their record-breaking accuracy, they are not recommended for most hunting purposes. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing bullets are popular for varmint hunting, their design does not deliver the same consistent explosive expansion at equal velocities as their thinly jacketed Hornet, Blitz, or Varminter equivalents.
The 6.5mm/.264 inch bore has recently seen a boom in popularity. Several rifle manufacturers are now producing 6.5x55mm sporters, introducing a new generation of shooters to this well-known classic Scandinavian service and hunting cartridge. The 6.5mm bore size has also piqued the curiosity of competitive HighPower and Silhouette shooters.
In medium- and high-capacity 6.5mm cartridges, the 140 grain #1740 bullet is a formidable contender for ranges of up to 1000 yards.
