Sierra 1997 MatchKing 7mm .284-Caliber 197-Grain HPBT Target Reloading Bullets, 100 Count

Sierra MatchKing bullets are engineered for precision target shooting, delivering the consistency and accuracy serious reloaders demand. Part number 1997 features a 197-grain hollow point boat tail design for 7mm rifles using .284-caliber bullets. The streamlined profile and small meplat help support a high ballistic coefficient, while the boat tail is designed to reduce drag and promote stable flight over extended distances.
Sierra manufactures MatchKing bullets with thin copper jackets drawn to a maximum concentricity variation of 0.0003 inch. Bullet weight is held within plus or minus 0.3 grain to promote consistent loading and shot-to-shot performance. The copper jacket surrounds a lead core, providing the construction needed for reliable performance in carefully developed handloads. This consistency makes the Sierra MatchKing line a trusted choice for competitive shooting, precision practice, and long-range target applications.
Each box contains 100 reloading bullets for use by experienced handloaders who follow current load data and established reloading procedures. The hollow point boat tail construction is optimized for target use rather than general-purpose hunting, and Sierra recommends MatchKing bullets primarily for target shooting. Always verify cartridge specifications, seating depth, powder charges, and firearm compatibility before loading or firing. With its 7mm caliber, 197-grain weight, .349 sectional density, and precision-focused design, Sierra part number 1997 provides a dependable foundation for accurate custom ammunition.
