In the realm of precision shooting, Sierra's MatchKing line has long stood as a beacon of excellence. Now, with the introduction of the Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet, Sierra elevates its legacy to new heights. By incorporating an acetal resin tip into their projectiles, they have crafted a bullet that not only retains the renowned accuracy but also boasts an enhanced ballistic coefficient through reduced drag.
The 168 grain Tipped MatchKing (TMK), a natural evolution from their celebrated 168 grain MatchKing (#2200), is particularly suited for competitive shooting disciplines such as F-Class (F Open) matches and 3-Gun competitions. Its design ensures it remains supersonic out to 1000 yards when fired at standard .308 Winchester velocities—a feat its untipped predecessor could not achieve.
Sierra’s commitment to precision means these bullets are engineered for unmatched performance in target scenarios rather than hunting applications. While some may employ them in varmint hunting due to their stellar accuracy, one must note that they do not deliver explosive expansion akin to lightly jacketed counterparts like Hornet Blitz or Varminter bullets.
The ballistic coefficients reflect this engineering prowess: achieving .535 at velocities above 2050 fps; maintaining .521 between speeds of 2050 fps and 1650 fps; and holding steady at .480 below those thresholds.
For shooters seeking supreme consistency over extended ranges without compromise on speed or stability, the Sierra Tipped MatchKing stands ready—crafted by tradition yet tailored for modern demands.
