Sierra Matchking Rifle Bullets (500/Ct) .30 Cal .308" 220 Gr Hpbt
$342.83
The Sierra MatchKing .30 caliber 220 grain rifle bullets are purpose-built for competitive shooters and precision handloaders who demand sub-MOA accuracy at distance. These .308" hollow-point boat-tail rounds represent Sierra's flagship target ammunition component—engineered from the ground up to deliver the consistency and ballistic performance that's made MatchKing the standard in precision rifle competitions and long-range range sessions.
What sets MatchKing bullets apart is Sierra's obsessive attention to concentricity and weight tolerance. Each bullet's jacket is drawn to a maximum runout of 0.0003 inches, and every round is sorted to within ±0.3 grain. That level of precision eliminates variables that trip up other handloads. The hollow-point design features a small meplat that boosts ballistic coefficient, while the boat-tail profile further reduces drag and improves downrange performance—critical advantages when you're chasing consistency at 600 yards and beyond.
These are not hunting bullets. They're built for the shooter who measures success in tenths of an inch and reload their own ammunition to chase maximum accuracy. The 500-count box gives you enough rounds to develop loads, fine-tune your rifle, and stock up for the season's matches. Whether you're working up loads in a precision bolt-gun or a semi-auto competition rifle, Sierra MatchKing bullets deliver the accuracy foundation you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Sierra MatchKing bullets suitable for hunting?
No. MatchKing bullets are designed and recommended exclusively for target shooting and competition use. They are not designed for hunting applications.
What rifles can I use these bullets in?
These .308" diameter 220-grain bullets are suitable for reloading in any centerfire rifle chambered for .30-caliber cartridges that accept a .308" bullet diameter, such as .308 Winchester, 300 Win Mag, 30-06 Springfield, and similar calibers. Always consult your rifle's manual and load data before reloading.
What makes MatchKing bullets more accurate than standard bullets?
Sierra's tight manufacturing tolerances—especially the 0.0003" concentricity standard and ±0.3 grain weight tolerance—eliminate the variables that cause bullet-to-bullet variations in flight. The hollow-point design with optimized meplat and boat-tail profile also maximize ballistic coefficient and reduce downrange drag.
How many rounds are in a box?
Each box contains 500 bullets.
