Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr HPBT MatchKing

The Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr HPBT MatchKing is a premium component bullet crafted for precision handloading, designed to deliver exceptional accuracy, aerodynamic efficiency, and consistent long-range performance. As part of Sierra’s elite MatchKing line, this .264‑inch, 130‑grain hollow-point boat-tail bullet offers match-grade quality and repeatable shot placement in precision bolt-action and semi-auto rifles.

Featuring a streamlined hollow point meplat and boat-tail base, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr HPBT delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient of around 0.580, reducing drag and wind drift for flatter trajectories. Its .264″ diameter is compatible with standard 6.5mm barrels, including popular cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, and 6.5×47 Lapua—offering reliability across a variety of platforms.

Manufactured to rigorous factory tolerances—130.0 grains weight, 0.264″ diameter, approximately 1.000″ overall length, and a sectional density of about 0.234—this component bullet provides excellent jacket uniformity, concentricity, and base alignment. The hollow-point design ensures precise meplat consistency, while the boat-tail configuration enhances base drag reduction and supersonic flight stability.

Designed for precision shooters, the 130gr MatchKing shines in twist-rate barrels of 1:8 to 1:9, delivering consistent sub‑½‑MOA accuracy in benchrest, PRS, or long-range hunting scenarios. Its cavity-tip allows for controlled practice loads and safe optic zeroing, while the robust seating geometry supports repeatable chamber alignment and minimal vertical stringing.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr HPBT MatchKing gives reloaders complete control over load development—primer choice, powder charge, and seating depth—to fine-tune recoil impulse, velocity, and ballistic trajectory. It is not factory-loaded ammunition; rather, it offers high-end customization for precision load building.

In summary, the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr HPBT MatchKing is a top-tier component bullet offering match-grade accuracy, aerodynamic performance, and reloaders’ control. Whether for competition, long-range training, or ethical hunting, this 130gr MatchKing provides consistent, precision-driven performance at the component level.
