I thought Sierra made a 125 grain Match King -and they do- but it's a flat base. They do make a 135 grain Match King BTHP.
Why the boat tail? Just curious. Even Hornady's engineer says that they are really of no practical value until about 400 yards in your average 30 cal.~Muir
Never mind if it is necessary or beneficial to use a boat tail bullet under about 400 yards I ask is it really practical to manufacture one in such a lightweight bullet which will have a short bearing surface?
The Barnes not being a conventional cup and core bullet but a monolithic bullet will naturally be longer than normal for it's weight.

Never had a problem loading them, don't need a lot of powder, expand well and retain most of their weight (or at least the ones I managed to recover have), and clover leaf at 100yds if I do my bit.
