Has anyone started reloading the Sierra 130 MatchKings? I’m not finding any info for these. Was hoping to use H4350 because that’s all I can get my hands on right now. Thanks
Shawn.
 
Just started load development in a Swede improved. 46.5gn of 4350 gets them just above 3k. Not a hot load but so far shooting nicely. Going to start trying different seating depths.
the Berger 130 hyb shoot well for me and are quite forgiving when reloading. These sierras so far seem very similar. They are a little longer, about 40 thousand I believe than the hybrids. Not sure where, bearing or nose. BC is a little higher than the hybrids. I think I read somewhere on accurate shooter someone tested them and the sierras shoot just a tick flatter than the hybrids. 🙄 There’s a lot of variables there. Anyway, so far I like them.
