Hey guys, does anyone have the BC for this bullet. Any other G locations would be helpful too.

Also what would be a good load to start with on these guys (starting light of course) ??

Thanks in advance!

Which one, as there are two 155's, one 2155, and one 2156.

2155 Sierra BC .450 (Litz tested G1 .417 & G7 BC .214)
2156 Sierra BC .504 (Litz Tested g1 .447 & G7 BC .247)

Is the 2156 the 155.5gr? If so I did did the 155.0

Sierra redesigned the 155 Palma to compete with the 155 Scenar and 155.5 Berger bullets. The original 2155 is now just called the 'Matchking' and the newer 2156 is called the 'Palma Matchking'.

Re: BC for Sierra 155 MatchKing hpbt & load info

my recipe for the palma is as follows,

46.5 gr varget (adi ar2208)
FLS sized and polished win brass
fgmm primers
seated to 2.80
out of a stock remington 700 sps tac, 20 inch barrel. 1/2 inch at 100.

i found that most accuaracy loads with the 155 palma are somewhere within that vacinity for many people.

cheers lads,

I'm loading 47g of varget with Fed210 primers 2.800 OAL in WInchester brass. It's giving me 2900fps out of a 24in bbl if I recall (I'll have to check my notes for the fps)
