The Sierra #1725 is a 120 grain MatchKing hollow-point boat-tail in 6.5 mm (.264″) designed for benchrest and HighPower competition out to 600 yards in medium-capacity cartridges such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55 and .260 Remington, and long popular in silhouette handguns. Sierra publishes a G1 ballistic coefficient of .421 above 3100 fps, .409 to 2800 fps, .403 to 2000 fps and .417 below; sectional density .246. Like all MatchKings it is not recommended for hunting. Box of 100.
Which 6.5 mm MatchKing should I choose?
The 120 gr #1725 suits mid-range (to 600 yd) and lighter-recoiling loads; the 140 gr #1740 and 142 gr #1742 carry higher BC for longer ranges.
What twist rate does it need?
The standard 1:8″ twist of modern 6.5 mm rifles stabilises the 120 gr easily; slower 1:9″ twists also work with this weight.
Do I need a licence to buy projectiles?
