The Sierra 2156 MatchKing 155-grain bullets deliver exceptional accuracy for precision shooting applications. These hollow point boat tail projectiles feature Sierra's renowned MatchKing design, engineered specifically for competitive target shooting and long-range precision work.
What Makes This Different
Sierra MatchKing bullets utilize a precisely formed hollow point that creates consistent ballistic coefficients and uniform expansion characteristics. The boat tail design reduces drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat-base bullets, extending effective range and improving wind resistance. Each bullet undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure weight variance stays within ±0.3 grains.
Key Features
- 155-grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield cartridges
- Hollow point boat tail (HPBT) construction for superior ballistic coefficient
- Jacket thickness designed for controlled expansion at target velocities
- Consistent weight sorting within ±0.3 grains for match-grade accuracy
- Lead core precisely swaged for uniform density distribution
- Boat tail angle engineered for reduced base drag
- 100-count bulk packaging for competitive shooters and reloaders
These bullets excel in competitive rifle matches where precision matters most. The 155-grain weight provides optimal stability in standard 1:10 and 1:12 twist barrels commonly found in target rifles. Match shooters report consistent sub-MOA groups at 100 yards when properly loaded, with effective accuracy maintained beyond 600 yards in capable rifle systems.
