Description
The Sierra MatchKing 7mm/.284 caliber 197 grain HPBT Match bullets are a 500-count component designed for precision reloading. They feature a 27-caliber elongated ogive and a final meplat-reducing operation to boost ballistic coefficient and wind resistance. A unique bearing-surface-to-ogive junction uses the same 1.5 degree angle commonly found in many match rifle chamber throats to promote consistent alignment. These bullets are intended for long-range target and match applications rather than most hunting uses.
