The Sierra MatchKing 338 caliber 300-grain hollow point boat tail bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision rifle applications. These match-grade projectiles feature Sierra's proven MatchKing design optimized for competitive shooting and long-distance hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Sierra MatchKing bullets incorporate a precisely formed hollow point that reduces drag while maintaining structural integrity at extended ranges. The boat tail design minimizes base drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat-base bullets of similar weight. Computer-controlled manufacturing processes ensure weight consistency within ±0.3 grains, delivering the uniformity required for sub-MOA accuracy potential.
Key Features
- 300-grain match-grade hollow point boat tail construction
- Jacket thickness optimized for .338 caliber magnum velocities
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.768 (G1) for superior downrange performance
- Compatible with .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum, and similar cartridges
- Consistent weight tolerance within ±0.3 grains per bullet
- Copper-jacketed lead core with controlled expansion characteristics
- 50-count packaging for precision reloading applications
These bullets excel in long-range competitive shooting where consistent trajectory and minimal wind drift determine match outcomes. The 300-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration while maintaining stability at distances exceeding 1,000 yards. Match shooters rely on the MatchKing's predictable flight characteristics for F-Class and Palma competition, while hunters appreciate the bullet's performance on large game at extended ranges.
