A closed-nose hollow point boat tail for the 243 Win and other 6mm cartridges, the 110 grain Sierra MatchKing #1575 is aimed at the target shooter and reloader who wants repeatable groups rather than a hunting bullet. Sierra built the 110 grain #1575 with a long 27-calibre ogive and a pointed, closed meplat for extreme-range 6mm work, and the bearing-surface junction is cut at 1.5 degrees to sit square in a match throat.
MatchKing jackets are drawn thin and held to very tight concentricity, with a small hollow point meplat that keeps weight and balance consistent from bullet to bullet. The closed-nose (CN) versions get a final pointing operation that closes the meplat for a higher ballistic coefficient than the standard open tip. Sierra specifies a barrel twist of 1:7 in or faster for this bullet. They are a target design: Sierra does not recommend MatchKings for most hunting, and on varmints they will not open as reliably as the lighter-jacketed VarmintKing and BlitzKing bullets. Sierra introduced this bullet in 2016.
