In the realm of precision shooting, few names resonate with as much authority and respect as Sierra. For decades, Sierra has been synonymous with accuracy and superior ballistic performance, a reputation well-earned through their relentless pursuit of perfection in bullet design. The Sierra MatchKing stands at the pinnacle of this endeavor—a testament to what can be achieved when engineering meets passion.
The .303 Caliber 7.7mm (.311) 174 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail MatchKing is crafted for those who demand nothing less than excellence from their ammunition. Each box contains 100 rounds designed not just for firing but for hitting your mark with unwavering consistency. With a sectional density of .257, these bullets promise stability in flight—an essential trait when precision is non-negotiable.
Sierra's commitment to minute detail manifests in each MatchKing bullet’s construction: thin jackets drawn to an exacting concentricity standard allow no more than a 0.0003-inch variation, while weight tolerances are held within plus or minus 0.3 grains. This meticulous attention ensures that every shot fired maintains its intended trajectory.
The hollow point design features a small meplat which contributes significantly to its high ballistic coefficient—measured at impressive values such as .499 at velocities above 2200 fps and maintaining efficient drag resistance down through lower speeds like .480 below 1800 fps thanks to its boat tail shape.
While acclaimed worldwide for record-setting accuracy on the range or competition circuit, it bears mentioning that despite their prowess in precision engagement scenarios, both Sierra MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are generally not recommended for most hunting applications due to their specific design focus on target shooting rather than terminal performance on game.
For shooters who seek unparalleled accuracy coupled with reliable performance round after round—the choice remains clear: embrace the legacy that is Sierra’s MatchKing line where every shot echoes excellence forged by expertise.
