{"product_id":"sierra-1997-7mm-197gr-hollow-point-boat-tail-match","title":"Sierra 1997 7mm 197gr Hollow Point Boat Tail Match","description":"\u003cp\u003eA closed-nose hollow point boat tail for the 7mm-08, 7x57 and 7mm magnums, the 197 grain Sierra MatchKing #1997 is aimed at the target shooter and reloader who wants repeatable groups rather than a hunting bullet. The 197 grain #1997 is Sierra's heaviest 7mm MatchKing, with a long 27-calibre ogive and a closed, pointed meplat for extreme-range work from the 7mm magnums and 7mm PRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatchKing jackets are drawn thin and held to very tight concentricity, with a small hollow point meplat that keeps weight and balance consistent from bullet to bullet. The closed-nose (CN) versions get a final pointing operation that closes the meplat for a higher ballistic coefficient than the standard open tip. Sierra specifies a barrel twist of 1:7.5 in or faster for this bullet. They are a target design: Sierra does not recommend MatchKings for most hunting, and on varmints they will not open as reliably as the lighter-jacketed VarmintKing and BlitzKing bullets. Sierra introduced this bullet in 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra Bullets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSierra product number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct line:\u003c\/strong\u003e MatchKing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBullet type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow Point Boat Tail - Closed Nose (HPBT-CN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.284 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 197 grains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eG1 ballistic coefficient:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.780\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eG7 ballistic coefficient:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.385\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jacketed lead core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum twist:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:7.5 in or faster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54537273770268,"sku":"S1997","price":166.17,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/0835\/1516\/files\/1997__49872.1781560040.jpg?v=1789385346","url":"https:\/\/www.magnumsports.com.au\/products\/sierra-1997-7mm-197gr-hollow-point-boat-tail-match","provider":"Magnum Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
