Sierra will start selling tipped MatchKing bullets starting next month.  You can pre-order them now from their site.

Looks like it will bump the BC up quite a bit, and both 22 offerings (69 & 77) are loadable to mag-length.  Other than that, they have four 30 caliber offerings.

Glad we are seeing them in the component market. The black hills loads have been pretty good from what ive seen.

Edit: pretty pricey direct from sierra. i have a hard time paying 35-40 cents for a 223 bullet (which is where you are with shipping).

they're only a few cents higher than regular MatchKings.  So far, nothing has been cheap about shooting match-grade.

A-Max must be cutting into profits

When the Amax and Hornady BTHP are so much cheaper, and the Berger and Lapua so much better, who cares?

My Mk12 mod 0 clone shoots the Black Hills loads very good for a factory load. If I can load them up myself I would probably get even better results. I will try them out.

The Berger bullets suck in my gun, have not tried the Lapua bullets yet. My MK loads shoot better than the Hornady bullets.
