The Remington Premier Match 223 Remington ammunition delivers match-grade precision for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. This factory-loaded cartridge combines Remington's quality brass with Sierra's renowned 69-grain MatchKing Boat Tail Hollow Point projectile for consistent sub-MOA performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 223 ammunition, Premier Match rounds undergo rigorous quality control testing to ensure uniform powder charges and consistent velocities. The Sierra MatchKing bullet features a precisely formed boat tail design that reduces drag and maintains stability at extended ranges. Each lot is tested for accuracy, with typical groups measuring under 1 MOA at 100 yards from quality bolt-action rifles.
Key Features
- 69-grain Sierra MatchKing Boat Tail Hollow Point bullet for superior ballistic coefficient
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness and flash hole uniformity
- Match-grade powder charges weighed to ±0.1 grains for velocity consistency

This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions, long-range target shooting, and varmint hunting scenarios where accuracy matters most.
