The Sierra MatchKing .308 HPBT (Hollow Point Boat Tail) bullet, featuring 168 grains and Sierra SKU #2200, stands out as a highly respected choice among precision shooters. Its boat tail design, combined with a carefully engineered hollow point tip, delivers outstanding aerodynamic efficiency and high ballistic coefficient, resulting in a flatter trajectory and improved wind resistance. This makes the Sierra 168 grain HPBT MatchKing particularly sought after for long-range target shooting and competitive marksmanship, where supreme accuracy is a must. It's important to note that this bullet is not lead-free; it features a traditional lead core encased in a precisely drawn copper jacket. As a match-grade projectile, the Sierra MatchKing 2200 is specifically engineered for punching tight groups in paper targets and metallic silhouettes, and it’s not recommended for hunting live game due to its design, which prioritizes accuracy and consistency over terminal expansion. This bullet is a top choice for shooters demanding world-class performance and consistency out to extended distances.
