Federal Gold Medal 30-06 168gr Sierra MatchKing BTHP Ammo 20rd

The Federal GM3006M Gold Medal ammunition delivers match-grade precision with Sierra's legendary 168-grain MatchKing bullet in 30-06 Springfield. This premium ammunition combines Federal's exacting manufacturing standards with Sierra's boat-tail hollow point design for consistent accuracy at extended ranges.

What Makes This Different

Federal Gold Medal ammunition undergoes stricter quality control than standard hunting loads, with each case hand-inspected and powder charges weighed to within 0.1 grains. The Sierra MatchKing bullet features a precisely formed boat-tail design that reduces drag and maintains velocity better than flat-base bullets. Match primers provide more consistent ignition than standard primers, contributing to shot-to-shot consistency that competitive shooters demand.

Key Features

• Sierra 168-grain MatchKing boat-tail hollow point bullet for superior ballistic coefficient
• Federal Gold Medal brass cases with consistent wall thickness and primer pockets
• Match-grade powder charges measured to precise tolerances
• Specialized match primers for consistent ignition timing
• Muzzle velocity of approximately 2,700 fps from 24-inch barrel
• Optimal performance in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles
• 20 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential. The 168-grain bullet weight provides excellent stability in standard 1:10 twist barrels common in 30-06 rifles. Long-range shooters benefit from the boat-tail design's superior ballistic coefficient, which maintains velocity and reduces wind drift compared to flat-base bullets. The consistent powder charges and match primers deliver the shot-to-shot uniformity required for competitive accuracy.
