Developed in Sierra’s acclaimed MatchKing line, this .264‑inch, 144gr hollow point boat‑tail bullet features a precise HPBT profile and boat‑tail geometry optimized for high ballistic coefficient and stable flight.

Featuring a sleek hollow point and boat‑tail configuration, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 144gr HPBT MatchKing achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.615. This impressive BC ensures a flat trajectory, reduced wind deflection, and minimal velocity loss at range. The .264″ diameter matches common 6.5mm barrels, supporting widespread cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Rem, and 6.5×47 Lapua.

Constructed to exacting factory tolerances—144.0 grains weight, 0.264″ diameter, 1.070″ OAL, and 0.265 sectional density—the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 144gr HPBT MatchKing offers unmatched ballistic consistency and match-grade grouping. The uniform jacket thickness and precise meplat promote predictable expansion in target scenarios while maintaining stability. The boat‑tail design further enhances aerodynamic efficiency, maintaining supersonic flight at extreme ranges.

Designed for precision shooting, this 6.5mm 144gr MatchKing performs best in twist-rate barrels of 1:8 to 1:9, offering sub‑½‑MOA accuracy in bolt‑action and precision semi-auto platforms. Recommended for competition, long‑range training, and varmint‑style precision work, the 264 Cal 6.5mm 144gr HPBT MatchKing excels in maintaining tight vertical stringing and tight groupings under varying environmental conditions.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 144gr HPBT MatchKing provides reloaders full authority over primer selection, powder charge, and seating depth to fine-tune trajectory, recoil, and terminal stability. Use cases include long-range benchrest shooting, competitive PRS matches, and precision training. This bullet is not factory-loaded ammunition; it is intended for handloaders requiring top-tier component quality.

In summary, the Sierra 264 Cal 6.5mm 144gr HPBT MatchKing is a match-grade hollow point boat-tail bullet prized for its exceptional BC, dimensional consistency, and competitive accuracy. For precision disciplines and shooters demanding tight groupings, stable long-range performance, and component-level customization, this 264 Cal 6.5mm 144gr MatchKing is a standout choice.
