Sierra MatchKing 2275 .308 Win 175 gr HPBT - 100 Rounds

The Sierra MatchKing 2275 .308 Win 175 gr HPBT is a match-grade rifle bullet engineered for precision shooting and long-range competition. Originally developed in 1995 through collaboration with military ordnance experts for sniper systems, the 175-grain MatchKing has become a cornerstone for competitive shooters and reloaders seeking repeatable, record-setting accuracy. With a higher ballistic coefficient than lighter MatchKing variants, this bullet maintains supersonic velocity at 1000 yards when fired from .308/7.62mm rifles, making it ideal for service rifle matches and precision target work where flat trajectory and minimal wind drift matter.

Sierra MatchKing bullets are built on decades of documented accuracy: competitive shooters worldwide have relied on their consistency to set state, national, and world records. The design prioritizes superior accuracy, flat shooting, and high momentum retention downrange. These are purpose-built match bullets, not general-purpose hunting rounds. While MatchKings are sometimes used for varmint hunting, their design does not produce the rapid, reliable expansion that dedicated varmint bullets deliver at equivalent velocities. If your reload plan centers on 1000-yard competition, precision rifle matches, or dedicated range work, the 175-grain MatchKing's ballistic profile and consistency make it the natural choice.

Each box contains 100 rounds of unprimed brass-jacketed bullets ready for your reloading press. Whether you're prepping for a Service Rifle match or building match-accurate loads for a precision platform, Sierra's MatchKing name carries the weight of generations of competitive shooting heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 168-grain and 175-grain MatchKing in .308?

The 175-grain MatchKing (#2275) has a higher ballistic coefficient than the 168-grain variant (#2200), which allows it to remain supersonic at 1000 yards when fired from .308 Service Rifles. This makes the heavier bullet the preferred choice for long-range competition and precision shooting at extended distances.

Are Sierra MatchKing bullets suitable for hunting?

Sierra MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. While they are occasionally used for varmint hunting, their design does not provide the rapid, reliable explosive expansion that dedicated hunting or varmint bullets deliver. For ethical, effective hunting, choose a bullet designed specifically for that purpose.

What do I need to reload these bullets?

These are unprimed bullets, so you will need to supply your own brass cases, primers, and powder. You'll also need a reloading press, dies for .308 Winchester, and the appropriate reloading manual for your specific load data.

Are these bullets legal for competition use?

MatchKing bullets are widely used in Service Rifle matches and other precision rifle competitions. Always verify that your specific competition or match permits their use and confirm compliance with any rules governing bullet construction or performance.
