A closed-nose hollow point boat tail for the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55 and other 6.5mm cartridges, the 123 grain Sierra MatchKing #1727 is aimed at the target shooter and reloader who wants repeatable groups rather than a hunting bullet. The 123 grain #1727 is a closed-nose MatchKing that gives 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 Grendel shooters a lighter, high-BC alternative to the 140 grain for mid-range competition.
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. 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.
