The Sierra MatchKing 1537 is a 6mm (.243) 95‑grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) target bullet offered in 100‑count boxes. Designed from MatchKing geometry to prioritize concentricity and high ballistic coefficient for long‑range and across‑the‑course target shooting. This bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1:9 or faster for optimal stabilization.

MatchKing bullets are produced to tight concentricity and weight tolerances and are intended for precision target applications. The 1537 was developed as a lighter alternative in Sierra’s MatchKing line to provide a long ogive, small meplat and improved boat tail for efficient downrange performance and reduced wind drift. Note that MatchKing designs are optimized for accuracy and are not recommended by the manufacturer for most hunting applications.
