The Sierra 2650 MatchKing delivers exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent performance at extended distances. These 338 caliber bullets feature Sierra's proven hollow point boat tail design, engineered for superior ballistic coefficients and reduced wind drift in competitive and precision shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Sierra MatchKing bullets undergo rigorous quality control processes that maintain weight tolerances within ±0.3 grains. The hollow point boat tail configuration produces a ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.711, significantly higher than standard flat-base designs. This translates to flatter trajectories and less wind sensitivity compared to conventional hunting bullets of similar weight.
Key Features
- 250-grain weight optimized for 338 Lapua Magnum and similar cartridges
- Hollow point boat tail design maximizes ballistic coefficient
- Jacket thickness engineered for consistent expansion at target velocities
- Lead core swaged under controlled pressure for uniform density
- Diameter held to ±0.0003 inch tolerance for consistent chambering
- 50-count boxes provide convenient quantity for load development
- Compatible with standard 338 caliber rifle barrels
Competitive shooters rely on these bullets for F-Class and long-range precision matches where sub-MOA accuracy is essential. The boat tail base reduces drag while the hollow point maintains stability through transonic flight phases. Factory ammunition manufacturers specify MatchKing bullets in premium match loads due to their consistent performance across temperature ranges.
