The Remington Premier Match 260 Remington delivers sub-MOA accuracy for precision rifle competitions and long-range shooting applications. This match-grade ammunition features Sierra's renowned 140-grain MatchKing Boat Tail Hollow Point bullets, engineered for consistent ballistic performance at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Premier Match line undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure lot-to-lot consistency that standard hunting ammunition cannot match. Each cartridge utilizes premium brass cases and carefully measured powder charges to achieve velocity standard deviations under 15 fps. The Sierra MatchKing BTHP projectile maintains its ballistic coefficient of .550 throughout flight, providing predictable trajectory and wind drift characteristics that competitive shooters demand.
