In the realm of precision shooting, where accuracy and consistency are paramount, Sierra introduces its .30 Caliber 7.62mm Tipped MatchKing (TMK) ammunition—a testament to engineering excellence tailored for discerning marksmen. This offering features a 155-grain bullet meticulously crafted with an acetal resin tip that significantly enhances its ballistic coefficient, ensuring superior aerodynamic performance across various velocity ranges.
The TMK is designed specifically for the AR platform and bolt-action rifles chambered in popular mid-level .30 caliber cartridges such as the .300 AAC Blackout. Its flat-based design caters to shooters looking for versatility without compromising on precision. The jacket construction withstands high velocities while maintaining structural integrity, making it suitable for competitive shooting environments where every shot counts.
Sierra's MatchKing series has earned global acclaim for setting records in accuracy; however, it's essential to note that these bullets are not recommended for most hunting scenarios due to their lack of explosive expansion compared to other varmint-specific projectiles like Hornet Blitz or Varminter bullets. Despite this limitation in traditional hunting contexts, they excel in target applications where pinpoint precision is required.
The ballistic coefficients stand at an impressive .519 at speeds above 1900 fps, tapering slightly to .490 between 1900 fps and 1600 fps, before settling at .420 below 1600 fps—showcasing its adaptability over different operational conditions.Packaged conveniently with 100 rounds per box, Sierra’s Tipped MatchKing ammunition remains a formidable choice for those who seek unparalleled consistency on the range.
