Product Overview

Sierra’s 6.5mm 142 gr MatchKing X HPBT is built for shooters who demand match-grade precision and real-world hunting performance from the same load. The sleek hollow point boat tail profile, high BC design and .264" diameter give you flat trajectories, excellent wind resistance and tight, repeatable groups well past mid-range – ideal for stretching the legs on your Creedmoor, PRC or Swede. MatchKing X uses a softer lead core and refined ogive to deliver reliable expansion on game without giving up the legendary consistency the MatchKing line is known for. In a 100-pack, it’s a practical choice for load development, club matches and serious hunting trips where every shot counts. If you want one bullet that’ll ring steel on Saturday and cleanly drop big game on Sunday, this 142 gr MKX is ready to go to work.

Key Features

  • 142 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) design delivers exceptional long-range accuracy and consistent trajectories, helping shooters place shots precisely where they count.
  • High ballistic coefficient of 0.595 (G1) / 0.287 (G7) reduces wind drift and velocity loss, improving performance on distant targets and game.

  • MatchKing-X construction with a softer lead core and tapered nose enhances terminal performance, providing reliable expansion on big game while maintaining accuracy.
  • Built to the same tight tolerances as traditional MatchKing bullets, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency for confidence in competition or the field.
  • Optimised for a 1:8 twist rate, making it ideal for modern 6.5mm rifles designed for heavy-for-calibre projectiles.
  • Minimum expansion velocity of 1,800 fps allows effective performance across a wide range of impact distances.
  • Jacketed lead bullet material offers proven reliability and predictable performance for serious hunters and precision shooters.
  • 100-count box provides ample bullets for load development, practice and hunting, while keeping packaging compact and easy to store.
