The Sierra 1834C MatchKing-X is a 270-caliber hollow-point boat-tail rifle bullet built for reloaders who demand both precision and reliable terminal performance. Loaded with 135 grains per bullet, this next-generation MatchKing combines the proven accuracy foundation Sierra's competition shooters have relied on for decades with enhanced field performance that matters when you're hunting at distance. Each box contains 500 bullets—a full loading for serious handloaders.
MatchKing-X bullets share the same ogive profile as their traditional MatchKing counterparts, which means your existing load data, seating depths, and ballistic calculations stay valid. That compatibility eliminates guesswork when you're transitioning to the new platform. Sierra holds these rounds to the same rigorous accuracy standards that built the MatchKing name, so shot-to-shot consistency remains non-negotiable.
What sets the MKX apart is the engineering at the business end. The jacket mouth and nose have been redesigned to enable rapid, controlled expansion without sacrificing the long-range stability you need. A softer lead core—compared to traditional MatchKing construction—ensures the bullet expands reliably even when impact velocities drop, keeping performance consistent from close range to extended hunting distances. That's the hunter's problem solved: one bullet that shoots tight groups and performs effectively downrange.
If you reload for a 270 and want match-grade precision without abandoning terminal effectiveness, the Sierra MatchKing-X 135-grain hollow-point boat-tail deserves a spot on your bench.
| Caliber | 270 (.277") |
| Weight | 135 grains |
| Bullet Type | Hollow-point boat-tail |
| Count | 500 per box |
| Series | MatchKing-X (MKX) |
Yes. The MatchKing-X maintains the same ogive as the original MatchKing, which means your load data, seating depth, and ballistic calculations remain compatible. No recalculation needed when you switch.
The softer lead core in the MatchKing-X ensures expansion at lower impact velocities, making it more effective at distance than a traditional match bullet. The redesigned jacket also promotes more reliable expansion without sacrificing the long-range accuracy you expect from Sierra's precision platform.
The MatchKing-X bridges both: it delivers match-grade accuracy like the original MatchKing while incorporating design features—the hollow point and softer lead core—for improved terminal performance on game. It's built specifically with hunters in mind.
The 135-grain bullet is a mid-weight option for 270 rifles, offering a balance of velocity, trajectory, and energy delivery. Exact performance depends on your rifle's barrel length and your powder charge, which should follow published load data for this specific bullet.
