The Sierra 1628 MatchKing delivers exceptional accuracy for competitive shooters and precision enthusiasts demanding consistent performance in 25 caliber applications. This 100-grain hollow point boat tail design incorporates Sierra's proven MatchKing profile for superior ballistic coefficients and reduced wind drift.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's MatchKing bullets feature a precision-formed hollow point that creates optimal aerodynamics without compromising structural integrity. The boat tail design reduces base drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat base bullets of similar weight. Each bullet undergoes rigorous quality control with weight tolerances held to ±0.3 grains, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency that separates MatchKing projectiles from standard hunting bullets.
Key Features
- 100-grain weight optimized for 25 caliber cartridges including .25-06 and .257 Weatherby
- Hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design maximizes ballistic coefficient
- Precision-drawn copper jacket with controlled thickness variations
- Lead core swaged to exact specifications for consistent density
- Manufactured to match-grade tolerances with minimal weight deviation
- 100-count packaging provides sufficient quantity for load development
- Compatible with standard reloading equipment and dies
Competitive shooters rely on the 1628 MatchKing for long-range precision where wind deflection and trajectory consistency determine match outcomes. The optimized ogive profile maintains stability through transonic transition, extending effective range compared to conventional bullet designs. Target shooters report sub-MOA groups when paired with appropriate powder charges and quality brass, while the boat tail configuration reduces sensitivity to minor seating depth variations during reloading.
