Sierra MatchKing .30 Caliber 7.62mm (.308) Ammunition
In the realm of precision shooting, Sierra has been synonymous with accuracy and ballistic excellence for decades. The Sierra MatchKing series represents the pinnacle of target bullet engineering, designed to deliver unparalleled performance whether you're on the range or in competition.
This particular offering features a .30 caliber 7.62mm (.308) projectile weighing in at 220 grains, crafted as a Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) Match bullet. Each box contains 100 rounds, providing ample opportunity to experience what makes these bullets exceptional.
The hallmark of the MatchKing design lies in its meticulous construction: thin jackets drawn with an exacting concentricity standard ensuring no more than a 0.0003-inch variation and weights held within plus or minus 0.3 grain tolerance—parameters that speak volumes about their commitment to precision.
A key feature is the hollow point design capped by a small meplat, engineered specifically for superior ballistic coefficient—a measure critical for maintaining velocity over distance and minimizing drag through flight paths optimized by boat tail shaping.
| Ballistic Coefficient | .629 @ ≥2100 fps |
|---|---|
| .624 between 2100-1700 fps | |
| .608 @ ≤1700 fps |
While they are lauded worldwide for record-setting accuracy, it is worth noting that Sierra's MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications due to their specialized nature focused solely on hitting targets with pinpoint precision rather than terminal ballistics required in game scenarios.
