6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 140 SMK with VARGET and H4350

March 18, 2018 Bill Marr 0

Most 6.5 Creedmoor shooters prefer heavier bullets.  I happen to be one of them.  While my favorite bullet for the Creedmoor is the 142 Sierra MatchKing (SMK), it’s slightly lighter, and easier to stabilize little […]

Sierra 6mm 110 SMK, 6 Creedmoor and 6×47 Lapua: initial impressions/load development

Game changer?  Sierra’s new 6mm 110 grain MatchKing #1575 When Sierra Bullets introduced the new 6mm (.243″) 110 grain MatchKing (SMK) a few weeks ago the 6mm shooting community was excited.  With an advertised G1 […]

308 Winchester load development: Sierra 168 gr. MatchKing with IMR 4064 and VARGET

December 6, 2016 Bill Marr 0

In the days before the 175 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK), the 168 SMK ruled supreme in the 308 Winchester.  Back then it was  sometimes referred to as a “heavy match” bullet since it was a […]

300 BLK

300 BLK load development: 125, 135, 175 and 220 SMK with H110 and IMR 4227

June 1, 2016 Bill Marr 0

The 300 AAC Blackout (300 BLK) is a popular alternative cartridge in the AR-15/M16 M4 (AR) community.  Known for its ability to deliver heavy subsonic bullets for standard AR magazines while cycling the action in suppressed applications, […]

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 […]
