Sierra MKX

[EastTNHunter]

Kind of an interesting concept with all of the hype about using match bullets for hunting. Matchkings are known to be accurate and usually easy to develop loads for, but their BCs are often lacking (or maybe just “honest”).

Now if they would just make the .308 168 MKx to match the regular MK that is used in the .308 Win GMM load that is often used as the “accuracy standard” for that cartridge.

I have a used 30ca 168 grain Match King that angled down the spine from the front and ended up in the ham bone of a 180 pound whitetail buck, that bullet did not expand one bit!

that bullet did not expand one bit!

I think that is the point of the MKX. Duplicate the dimensions and accuracy of the MK, but change the internal structure and metallurgy to encourage more reliable expansion

Traditional matchking’s bc were pretty gohunt but they have some pretty solid BCs on newer pointer bullets.

These don’t excite me at face value. I’d guess they are designed to perform like a Berger hunting bullet?
