Product Overview
The Winchester Match 6.5 PRC 140gr HPBT MatchKing is a premium competition load featuring Sierra's legendary MatchKing bullet. With a 0.590 G1 ballistic coefficient and 3,030 fps muzzle velocity generating 2,854 ft-lbs of energy, this ammunition delivers the precision and consistency that serious competitive shooters require. The Sierra MatchKing has earned its reputation as one of the most accurate bullets ever produced.
PRS, F-Class, and long-range benchrest competitors will appreciate the MatchKing's optimized jacket geometry and narrow meplat that contribute to its exceptional accuracy. The boat tail design reduces drag and provides superior stability at extended ranges, while the 140gr weight offers an excellent balance of velocity and ballistic performance for the 6.5 PRC cartridge. This load remains supersonic well past 1,200 yards under standard conditions.
Precision rifle enthusiasts who prefer factory ammunition will find this load competitive with the best handloads. Winchester's quality control ensures consistent velocities and reliable feeding, making it suitable for both practice sessions and match day. The brass cases are fully reloadable for shooters who want to develop custom loads using this premium brass as a starting point.
