Sierra Bullets has announced three new rifle bullet offerings, including the .25-caliber 135-grain Tipped MatchKing, 7mm 185-grain Tipped MatchKing and .22-caliber 77-grain MatchKing X, developed in response to continued demand for high-ballistic-coefficient, heavy-for-caliber offerings.

"Over the last two years, we've listened closely to our customers and focused on developing the kinds of bullets they've been asking for most: high-BC, heavy-for-caliber offerings built for precision shooters and hunters alike" said Andrew Sparks, VP of marketing & business development. "We're excited to officially bring these three new products to market and get them into the hands of shooters."

Tipped MatchKing

The market has been shouting for heavy-for-caliber additions to this family, and Sierra Bullets has delivered. As with the MatchKings, they are designed for maximum accuracy performance, with the addition of proprietary acetyl resin tips added and ogive dimension changes. This pushes the ballistic coefficient even further to increase down-range performance.

MatchKing-X

Engineered for reliable expansion at long-range velocities, the MKX delivers match-grade accuracy in a hunting bullet. With a high ballistic coefficient, it is designed to mirror the performance of its MatchKing counterpart in flight, while still providing the terminal performance hunters demand.
