300 Winchester Magnum load development: Sierra .308 195 gr. Tipped MatchKing (TMK) REVIEW

November 15, 2016 Bill Marr 0

When I found out Sierra was introducing .308″ diameter 195 grain Tipped MatchKings (TMK) I was thrilled to get my hands on some.  The weight was an interesting choice, heavy for a 308 Winchester (Win) […]

Why not 308? The battle between 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×47 Lapua, 260 Rem, 243 Win, 6BR, 6×47 Lapua, and 6 Creedmoor

October 17, 2016 Bill Marr 0

The expanding popularity of precision rifles has been accompanied by discussion about abandoning the 308 Winchester in favor of the 6.5 Creedmoor.  But what about the other match calibers out there?  Specifically 6.5×47 Lapua, 260 Remington, 243 […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Sierra 130 grain Tipped MatchKing (TMK) with H4350, Varget, Reloder 15 and Reloader 17

May 23, 2016 Bill Marr 0

Sierra’s 6.5 mm (.264″) 123 and 142 grain MatchKings (SMK) are staples of the precision shooting world.  Both offer exceptional precision to the marksman, but a middle weight 6.5mm option eluded those of us who […]
