Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets .30 cal / 7.62mm .308 230 gr HPBT MATCHKING 500/ct

Shooters around the world will appreciate the accuracy and extreme long range performance of the 30 Cal 230 grain HPBT (#2251). A sleek 27 caliber elongated ogive and a final meplat reducing operation (pointing) provide an increased ballistic coefficient for optimal wind resistance and velocity retention. To ensure precise bullet to bore alignment a unique bearing surface to ogive junction uses the same 1.5 degree angle commonly found in many match rifle chamber throats.

While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts.

This bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1x8• or faster.

Ballistic Coefficients and Velocity Ranges :

• .800 @1880 fps and above
• .780 between 1600 and 1880 fps
• .740 @ 1600 and below
