A closed-nose hollow point boat tail for the 7mm-08, 7x57 and 7mm magnums, the 197 grain Sierra MatchKing #1997 is aimed at the target shooter and reloader who wants repeatable groups rather than a hunting bullet. The 197 grain #1997 is Sierra's heaviest 7mm MatchKing, with a long 27-calibre ogive and a closed, pointed meplat for extreme-range work from the 7mm magnums and 7mm PRC.

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.
