The Sierra MatchKing .30 Caliber 7.62mm (.308) 168-grain bullet stands as a testament to precision and excellence in the world of competitive shooting. With its Hollow Point Boat Tail design, this projectile is crafted for those who demand nothing less than superior accuracy and performance.
For decades, elite shooters have trusted the consistency of Sierra's MatchKing bullets, resulting in an enviable history of state, national, and world records. The 168-grain variant has become synonymous with reliability across various platforms—from high-performance rifles to innovative handguns like the Remington XP-100 that chamber larger rifle cartridges.
Sierra's commitment to quality ensures each box contains 100 rounds ready to deliver flat trajectories and high momentum on target. Its sectional density of .253 provides excellent penetration characteristics while maintaining low sensitivity to crosswinds—a crucial factor when engaging targets at extended ranges.
Boasting impressive ballistic coefficients—ranging from .462 above 2600 fps down to .405 below 1600 fps—the Sierra MatchKing delivers unmatched stability across different velocity spectrums. While these attributes make it ideal for long-range competition or varmint hunting where explosive expansion is not required, it's essential to recognize that they are not designed for most traditional hunting applications due to their specific construction tailored towards precision shooting rather than terminal ballistics.
In summary, the Sierra MatchKing remains a hallmark of engineering prowess within ammunition circles worldwide—setting standards others aspire toward but seldom attain.
