The Sierra 2275 MatchKing bullets are meticulously designed for competitive shooters seeking record-setting accuracy. Each bullet is a 175-grain HPBT projectile, measuring 0.308 inches in diameter, ideal for precision long-range shooting.
The Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) design contributes to a high ballistic coefficient, optimizing aerodynamic efficiency for reduced drag and increased stability during flight. These bullets were developed in collaboration with military experts for use in sniper systems like the M21, M24, and M40A1, and have gained popularity among long-range competitive shooters due to their ability to remain supersonic at 1,000 yards when fired from .308 Winchester rifles.
While they are recognized worldwide for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Their design does not provide the same reliable expansion at equivalent velocities compared to lightly jacketed bullets. However, some varmint hunters use them due to their exceptional precision.
Each box contains 100 bullets, ensuring reloaders have an ample supply for their precision shooting needs.
