The Sierra 7430C Tipped MatchKing .264 caliber 130-grain bullet is purpose-built for precision rifle shooters who demand accuracy at distance. This 500-round pack offers Sierra's proven MatchKing design enhanced with an acetal resin tip—a refinement that cuts drag for a better ballistic coefficient while ensuring dependable feeding in magazine-fed rifles. Whether you're fine-tuning loads at the bench or stretching distance on the range, these bullets deliver the consistency that made MatchKing bullets synonymous with record-setting accuracy.
The addition of the tip transforms the classic MatchKing profile into a round that balances terminal performance with ballistic efficiency. The seated tip reduces the variation that can come from hand-seating traditional open-point designs, which translates to tighter velocity nodes and smaller groups when you're chasing precision loads. Reloaders working with modern cartridges appreciate this advantage, especially when magazine clearance or feeding reliability matter.
Sierra classifies these rounds as competition and target bullets first—they're engineered for paper and steel, not game. While some shooters have used Tipped MatchKings on varmints, Sierra notes they won't deliver the same explosive expansion you'd get from their lighter-jacketed varmint designs at equal velocities. If your focus is precision rifle competition, long-range target work, or high-volume practice loads, the 7430C delivers the ballistic advantage and consistency you're paying for.
Success with these bullets requires a barrel twist of 1:9 or faster. Load carefully, chrono your ammunition, and let the MatchKing reputation for accuracy do the work.

Sierra does not recommend MatchKing or Tipped MatchKing bullets for most hunting applications. Their design is optimized for accuracy on target, not game. For hunting, consider Sierra's Hornet Blitz or Varminter lines if you're pursuing varmints, as those designs offer more reliable expansion at hunting velocities.
Yes—the acetal resin tip improves feeding reliability in magazine-fed firearms compared to open-point MatchKing designs.
The tip reduces aerodynamic drag, improving ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and more consistent velocity. It also allows more uniform seating compared to traditional open-point bullets, which helps tighten your velocity spreads during load development.
