The Sierra 7430C Tipped MatchKing delivers exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent performance in 6.5mm applications. This 130-grain projectile features Sierra's proven MatchKing design enhanced with a polymer tip for improved ballistic coefficient and terminal performance. Competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts rely on these bullets for their predictable flight characteristics and match-grade consistency.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design sets the Tipped MatchKing apart from traditional hollow point match bullets by providing superior aerodynamic efficiency and consistent expansion initiation. The tip reduces drag while maintaining the boat-tail base geometry that made the original MatchKing famous among competitive shooters. Sierra's manufacturing tolerances ensure weight variance stays within ±0.3 grains, delivering the consistency required for precision applications at extended ranges.
Key Features
- 130-grain weight optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor, .264 Winchester Magnum, and similar cartridges
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient to approximately 0.295 (G7)
- Boat-tail base design reduces drag and wind drift
- Match-grade construction with strict weight and dimensional tolerances
- Jacket thickness engineered for controlled expansion at various velocities
- 500-count bulk packaging reduces cost per round for high-volume shooters
- Compatible with standard .264-inch diameter rifle barrels
These bullets excel in competitive shooting environments where consistent point of impact matters most. The 130-grain weight provides an ideal balance of velocity retention and wind resistance for matches extending beyond 600 yards. Hunters appreciate the controlled expansion characteristics when loaded to appropriate velocities for medium game. The polymer tip initiates expansion reliably across a wide velocity range, making it suitable for both close-range and long-distance applications.
