Availability: In Stock
The Sierra MatchKing 70-grain .243-caliber rifle bullets are purpose-built for precision shooting, from competition bench rest to target practice and medium-range applications. These .243" hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) bullets have earned their reputation through decades of match-winning accuracy—the 70-grain #1505 was introduced in 1974 and quickly became the standard against which other precision rifle bullets are measured. Each box contains 500 rounds, making them a practical choice for serious handloaders who demand consistency shot after shot.
What sets MatchKing bullets apart is Sierra's obsessive attention to concentricity and uniformity. Every bullet is engineered for minimal runout and maximum predictability, which is why they dominate in centerfire competition out to 400 yards and excel on NRA half-size silhouette targets. Handloaders appreciate the consistent ballistic performance that comes from Sierra's precision manufacturing—less guesswork, more confidence downrange.
These bullets are best suited to target shooting, competition, and bench rest applications where their inherent accuracy shines. While some reloaders use MatchKing bullets for varmint hunting, they aren't designed for reliable expansion on game animals and aren't recommended for most hunting applications. If you're loading ammunition for precision rifle competition, target practice, or shooting disciplines where accuracy is everything, the 70-grain MatchKing delivers the consistency and performance Sierra's reputation is built on.

If you're hunting varmints or medium game, Sierra's other bullet lines like the Hornet Blitz or Varminter are better choices.
The 70-grain MatchKing excels in centerfire competition out to 400 yards and is an excellent choice for NRA half-size silhouette matches. They've been the competition standard since 1974 due to their record-setting accuracy and consistency.
