Overview
Built for precision-oriented 7mm rifle work, this hollow point boat tail bullet is aimed at shooters who need consistent performance at extended distances. Its streamlined ogive and pointed meplat are described as supporting a higher ballistic coefficient, which is useful when wind and velocity retention matter. Sierra notes that MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications, so this option is best suited to target and other non-general hunting use where accuracy is the priority. Packaged 100 per box, it fits well into serious range sessions and load development for long-range shooting.
