Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr HPBT MatchKing

The Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr HPBT MatchKing is a premium component bullet meticulously engineered for precision handloading, offering match-grade accuracy, superior ballistic consistency, and downrange performance tailored for serious long-range shooters. Part of Sierra’s acclaimed MatchKing line, this .284‑inch hollow-point boat-tail bullet balances aerodynamic efficiency with reliable flight stability.

Featuring a refined hollow-point meplat and subtle boat-tail base, the 284 Cal 7mm 160gr HPBT achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.530. This elevated BC reduces drag and wind drift, supports a flatter trajectory, and sustains supersonic flight to extended ranges. Its .284″ diameter is compatible with popular cartridges such as 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm-08 Remington, and 7mm PRC.

Manufactured to exacting component standards—160.0 grains weight, 0.284″ diameter, approximately 1.135″ overall length, and a sectional density of about 0.272—the 7mm 160gr MatchKing offers exceptional concentricity, uniform jacket thickness, and tight meplat control. The HPBT design ensures consistent external ballistics with enhanced stability in variable conditions, while the hollow point supports practice-friendly sighting loads.

Designed for bolt-action and precision semi-auto platforms with barrel twist rates of 1:9 to 1:10, this bullet delivers sub‑½‑MOA potential in rifle systems tailored for match, hunting, or long-range training. The controlled hollow-point tip also makes load tuning simpler, allowing reloaders to replicate match-level trajectories or craft reduced-risk practice ammo without compromising on point of impact.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr HPBT provides handloaders full control over powder selection, primer pairing, and seating depth—allowing fine-tuning of recoil, velocity, and trajectory for specific shooting scenarios. It is not factory-loaded ammunition; instead, it meets the demands of handloaders seeking precision, consistency, and high-performance bullet design.

In summary, the Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr HPBT MatchKing is a top-tier component bullet offering match-grade accuracy, aerodynamic excellence, and customization for long-range pursuits. Whether competing, hunting, or refining load performance, this 160gr MatchKing is a trusted choice for shooters craving precision and long-range consistency.
