Sierra Bullets is proud to introduce a new addition to the legendary MatchKing® line. Shooters around the world will appreciate the accuracy and extreme long range performance of our new 6.5 mm 150 grain HPBT (#1755). A sleek 27 caliber elongated ogive and a final meplat reducing operation (pointing) provide an increased ballistic coefficient for optimal wind resistance and velocity retention. To ensure precise bullet to bore alignment, a unique bearing surface to ogive junction uses the same 1.5 degree angle commonly found in many match rifle chamber throats. This bullet requires a twist rate of 1:7.5” or faster to stabilize.
While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting, their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities on varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet, BlitzKing®, or Varminter counterparts.
The new 6.5 mm 150 grain HPBT bullets is available in boxes of 500 bullets (#1755C) with a suggested retail of $250.94 per box and boxes of 100 bullet (#1755) with a suggested retail of $50.98 per box.

When I click on the sentence for 6.5 Creedmoor load data the site says “Not Found Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”
What do I need to do?

1:7.5″ twist is kind of a bummer. I’d bet most 6.5CM shooters are running 1:8 barrels so this round will likely not appeal to them. Maybe try it in my next barrel.

They may shoot in some 8 twists, but not all of them.

Built a 7.5 twist bartlein 6.5 creedmoor just for this bullet. They are shooters (sub 1/4”) but really long at .020 off lands and .250 over mag length for my other repeater creedmoor. The 7.5 is a single shot and actually throated short as I could to still get max powder capacity. Tried jumping the bullet at mag length in my 8 twist and shoot +1” groups. Three in .25” with consistent flyers which is expected with this much jump. Doesn’t seem to be a twist issue as much as a jump issue. The flyers went away when set out to lands in 8” barrel but loaded hot at 42.6 H4350. But to cut a throat to meet the lands for a repeater kills the powder capacity. With a 6.5/284 this bullet will be perfect. Going to be my next build and will probably stay with 8 twist barrel. Thoughts?

Hi would this projectile work in a 1:8 twist as indicated in the 6.5CM data as it is stated in the product description recommended This bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1×7.5” or faster. Would love to try this in a 6.5X55 AI Running 140 Berger’s @ 3053fps at the moment using a 1:8 Maddco bbl.

I think there is a group of silhouette shooters that would like this bullet for high power silhouette if it would work in a 6.5×47. It is a popular round for HP silhouette.

I understand that Sierra is working on the 6th edition reloading manual. I’ve been using Sierra bullets for nearly 35 years, and I love them.
I hope the new manual covers the full spectrum of Sierra bullets for my favorite calibers, such as .260 Remington, 6mm x 47 Laupa, 6.5x 47 Lapua, and 280 Remington/ 280 A.I.
Any word on when the new manual will be available?
Thanks, and keep up the great products.
