This bullet is a popular choice for across-the-course and long-range target shooters. It was engineered with a long ogive, small meplat, and optimized boat tail to preserve downrange efficiency, enhance accuracy, and reduce wind drift.

Renowned worldwide for record-setting precision, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are designed strictly for target shooting and are not recommended for most hunting applications. While they are sometimes used for varmint hunting, their construction does not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at comparable velocities as lightly jacketed Hornet, Tipped VarmintKing, or VarmintKing bullets.

A barrel twist rate of 1×7.5" or faster is required.
