Description

Sierra Matchking-X 6.5mm 142gr HPBT x100

The 142-grain Hollow Point Boat Tail MatchKing X (MKX) is a mirrored image of the renowned 142-grain MatchKing, sharing the same ogive profile and external dimensions. This means you can switch between precision match shooting and hunting without making any seating die adjustments.

Engineered for reliable expansion at midrange velocities, the MKX delivers match-grade accuracy in a true hunting bullet. With a high ballistic coefficient of 0.595 (G1), it mirrors the performance of its MatchKing counterpart in flight, while providing the terminal performance hunters demand. Whether you're ringing steel or taking game, the MKX proves you don’t have to sacrifice precision for performance.
