Contacted Sierra with no luck. Anyone know the SG factor
for a 6.5 142 Sierra Match King and a 6.5 Nosler 140 Ballistic tip? Thanks in advance.

Don't you need a velocity to calculate this and a twist rate?

Definitely need to have the projectile dimensions, velocity, and twist rate. Alternatively, if you know the dimensions and a reasonable estimate of the velocity you expect, you can determine a twist rate necessary to achieve a specific Sg by inputting different twist rates here:
