NEXT GENERATION MATCHKING HAS ARRIVED
Designed for the modern marksman, Sierra’s MatchKing X combines award-winning match accuracy with ethical, devastating performance on game. Whether on the podium or in the paddock, one bullet does it all.
For years, shooters have asked if Sierra’s renowned MatchKing bullets could be used for hunting due to their exceptional accuracy. While MatchKings are built for precision, they were never optimized for terminal performance, until now. The new MatchKing-X (MKX) line delivers the same legendary accuracy and ballistic consistency, but with engineered enhancements for ethical hunting. MKX bullets retain the same ogive profile, weight, and concentricity as their MatchKing counterparts, meaning no need to adjust seating depth, trajectory data, or powder charges. What sets MKX apart is its redesigned construction: a softer lead core, light skives on the nose, and a significantly thinner tapered jacket mouth. All of which combine to ensure rapid expansion and fragmentation on thin-skinned game, even at extended ranges out to 500 yards. These updates transform MatchKing’s match-grade precision into a devastatingly effective hunting solution without sacrificing performance or reliability.
AVAILABLE IN 100 OR 500 BULLETS PER PACK

2. SOFT LEAD CORE
MatchKing X bullets feature a softer lead core than the original MatchKing bullets, promoting reliable and lethal expansion on game.
3. TANGENT OGIVE
Tangent Ogives provide high ballistic coefficients, smoother feeding, and excellent in-flight stability. Tangent ogives are also inherently easier to tune and less finicky ensuring consistent accuracy.
4. TAPERED JACKET
