Just noticed that Sierra is offering a new Tipped Match King....not available in 6.5 yet but I would think it will be forthcoming:

Claimed BC's are pretty high. Notice the 155gr .308 is stated at .519 BC. They're using the hybrid ogive like Berger has done. This is basically Sierra's answer to Berger's developments in target bullets, as well as Hornady's A-MAX line up with the tips.
If they were able to get a 155gr .308 to have a .519 BC, then a 123gr 6.5mm could have a .530. I wish they would publish G7 data.
They need to apply this to the Game King Line-Up. Make a 123gr Tipped Game King with .530 G1 BC.
Nice developments nonetheless.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
