Sierra Tipped Matchking Features The Sierra Tipped MatchKing bullet builds on the legendary MatchKing line by adding an acetal resin tip crowning this segment of the lineup with reduced drag characteristics. The primary advantage of the added tip is a more favorable ballistic coefficient which means less wind drift and a flatter trajectory for competitive shooters at extended distances. A secondary benefit is more reliable feeding in magazine fed firearms which matters to shooters running semi-automatic platforms or bolt guns fed from detachable magazines. Recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets have become a standard reference point in competitive target shooting. Measuring 7mm with a .284 inch diameter and weighing 160 grains this bullet suits the popular 7mm cartridges commonly used in long-range and precision rifle competition. While often used for varmint hunting as well Sierra notes that MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications since their design does not deliver the same explosive expansion at comparable velocities as dedicated varmint bullets like the Hornet Blitz or Varminter lines. This particular bullet the number 7660 was introduced in November 2015 as part of Sierra s ongoing refinement of the Tipped MatchKing lineup. Competitive shooters focused on accuracy over hunting performance will find this 7mm Tipped MatchKing a proven choice for the firing line.
