In the realm of precision shooting, few names command as much respect as Sierra. Their MatchKing series stands as a testament to unparalleled accuracy and performance in competitive shooting. The .30 Caliber 7.62mm (.308) 150 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail MatchKing is no exception to this legacy.
Crafted meticulously for those who demand excellence, these bullets have been the cornerstone of countless state, national, and world records—a fact that fills competitors with envy worldwide. Introduced in the late 1950s specifically for 300-meter international matches, their debut at the 1959 Pan American Games signaled a new era in competitive marksmanship.
The hallmark of Sierra’s MatchKings lies in their exceptional design: a hollow point boat tail structure that ensures superb accuracy coupled with a flat trajectory. This configuration provides high momentum delivery while minimizing sensitivity to crosswinds across all ranges—qualities crucial for both handgun silhouettes and long-range target competitions.
Sierra's dedication to consistent precision has set global standards not only for rifles but also handguns like the Remington XP-100 which chamber larger rifle cartridges effectively using all .30 caliber MatchKings. However, it's essential to note that despite their prowess on targets, these bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications due to their specific design characteristics.
Each box contains 100 rounds engineered with sectional density at .226 and ballistic coefficients ranging from .417 at velocities above 2800 fps down through .355 below speeds of 1800 fps—ensuring reliable performance tailored perfectly for your precision needs.
If you seek ammunition that embodies tradition fused seamlessly with cutting-edge innovation—the kind trusted by champions—you need look no further than Sierra's renowned MatchKing series.
