Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr Tipped MatchKing

The Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr Tipped MatchKing is a match-grade component bullet engineered for long-range precision and reliable terminal performance in 7mm-caliber rifles. Designed under Sierra’s elite MatchKing series, this .284‑inch, 160‑grain polymer-tip hollow-point boat-tail bullet provides exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, sub‑MOA accuracy, and enhanced expansion on medium to large game.

Featuring a polymer tip integrated into a hollow-point cavity and a streamlined boat-tail base, the 284 Cal 7mm 160gr Tipped MatchKing achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.540. This elevated BC reduces drag and wind drift for flatter trajectory and sustained supersonic performance. Its .284″ diameter supports compatibility with popular cartridges like 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm-08 Remington, and 7mm PRC, making it versatile for both competition and hunting platforms.

Manufactured to Sierra’s rigorous factory tolerances—160.0 grains weight, 0.284″ diameter, approximately 1.135″ overall length, and a sectional density around 0.272—this bullet features uniform jacket thickness, consistent meplat alignment, and precise boat-tail geometry. The polymer tip encourages controlled expansion and improved energy transfer while preserving aerodynamic shape.

Optimized for barrels with twist rates between 1:9 and 1:10, the Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr Tipped MatchKing delivers sub‑½‑MOA accuracy when handloaded accurately. The polymer tip enhances ballistic consistency, and the hollow-point boat-tail design yields deep penetration and reliable terminal effect on game such as deer, elk, and antelope.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr Tipped MatchKing gives reloaders full control over powder selection, primer choice, and seating depth—enabling fine-tuned load development for trajectory, recoil, and terminal performance. It is not factory-loaded ammunition, but a precision-grade component for shooters seeking match-quality outcomes and component-level flexibility.

In summary, the Sierra 284 Cal 7mm 160gr Tipped MatchKing combines aerodynamic excellence, match-grade accuracy, and dependable expansion. Ideal for long-range hunting, target shooting, and precision competition, this 160gr MatchKing delivers consistently high performance in 7mm rifle platforms.
