Sierra Matchking 107 and 110

[Deleted member 10043]

Does anybody have a lot of experience with both. Like performance and reloading details. This thread is related to one I started in the Gunsmith forum.

i know several high power guys who use the 107 just fine in place of the 105 hybrid

the 110 i've seen reports of it being very finicky and def needing a fast twist barrel. even so...not the most reliable. maybe they've changed it since first release but those guys were turned off of it

I had great luck with 107's in my 6x47. VERY forgiving, VERY accurate bullet.

Have run a 1,000 or so 110’s through a wildcat. They were not hard to dial in. Ran a ladder and then 5 loads off the ladder. Didn't fiddle with length, had a load at 0.200” and went no further. Most all the Match Kings I have used liked 0.020” off the lands and these were no different. They have been very consistent and grouped well enough that I know it is not the bullet when I miss. I have read that they are finicky to jump, have not seen that yet but may have to chase the lands later.

Bearing surface on the 110 is a little on the short side (.322) for a bullet that is 1.354".
