Sierra 1743 Tipped Gameking 6.5Mm 142Gr Hp Boat Tail 100/Box$56.36
Availability: In Stock
The Sierra 1743C Tipped Gameking 6.5mm 142-grain hollow-point boat-tail rifle bullet combines proven long-range accuracy with terminal performance designed for hunting. Built on the legacy of Sierra's MatchKing precision bullets, these 500-count box reloading components are engineered for shooters who demand both shot-to-shot consistency and reliable expansion in the field. If you're handloading ammunition for 6.5mm cartridges—whether for hunting at extended distance or testing loads at the range—the Tipped Gameking delivers the ballistic stability and stopping power that modern hunters expect.
Sierra refined the construction of these bullets to balance accuracy with field performance. The design maintains the same ogive profile as their MatchKing lineup, so if you're already dialed in with load data and seating depth for standard MatchKings, the transition requires minimal adjustment. The boat-tail profile improves ballistic coefficient and reduces drag, supporting the flatter trajectories and wind resistance needed for longer shots. A softer lead core compared to traditional solid-core bullets promotes expansion even at lower velocities, ensuring the bullet performs reliably whether you're pushing it at full velocity or moderating speed for a particular hunting scenario.
Sierra holds these bullets to the same accuracy standards as their match-grade counterparts, so you're working with components that will group consistently downrange. The hollow-point tip and jacket design allow rapid, controlled expansion while maintaining structural integrity through bone and vitals. For reloaders building precision rifle ammunition—hunting loads, long-range field ammunition, or carefully developed handloads—the Tipped Gameking 6.5mm sits at the sweet spot between target-grade consistency and terminal performance.
| Caliber | 6.5mm (.264") |
| Bullet Weight | 142 grains |
| Style | Hollow Point Boat Tail |
| Quantity | 500 bullets per box |
| Manufacturer | Sierra Bullets |
These bullets are designed for 6.5mm cartridges, which include popular hunting and long-range rounds like the 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, 6.5-284 Norma, and other .264" diameter rifle cartridges. Consult your specific rifle's specifications and your reloading manual to ensure compatibility with your chamber and intended load.
The Tipped Gameking maintains the same ogive as Sierra's MatchKing bullets, which means you can use the same seating depth and adjust minimal variables when transitioning between them. However, always start at reduced loads and work up incrementally, as the Tipped Gameking's different construction may interact slightly differently with your powder and primer combination.
Yes. The boat-tail profile reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient, the hollow-point design promotes controlled expansion on game, and the softer lead core ensures expansion even at lower velocities downrange. These characteristics make them suitable for long-range hunting applications where both accuracy and terminal performance are critical.
Each box contains 500 Sierra 1743C Tipped Gameking bullets.
