Description

Sierra Matchking 6mm 95gr HPBT x100 #1537

The Sierra 6mm 107 MatchKing needed to be replaced by a bullet that was reduced in weight, hence the 6mm 95 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail bullet was created. This bullet is a well-liked option for clients with long-range and across-the-course targets. With a large ogive, a tiny meplat, and a better boat tail, Sierra modified the widely used 6mm 107 HPBT MatchKing design to maintain downrange efficiency, improve accuracy, and lessen wind-drift.
