For the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55 and other 6.5mm cartridges, the Sierra #1755 150 grain 6.5mm (.264) MatchKing is a proven closed-nose hollow point boat tail that competitive shooters have relied on for years. The 150 grain #1755 is the heavyweight of the 6.5mm MatchKing range, with a long 27-calibre ogive and a pointed, closed meplat for strong wind performance out of cartridges like the 6.5 PRC and 6.5-284.
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 1:7.5 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 2017.
