Sierra Matchking Rifle Bullets (500/Ct) .338 Cal .338" 250 Gr Hpbt
$460.16
The Sierra Matchking .338 250-grain HPBT rifle bullets (sold 500 per box) are purpose-built for precision shooters and long-range competitors who demand record-setting accuracy from magnum cartridges. Built to the same demanding standards that have made MatchKing bullets legendary on the range, these .338-caliber projectiles deliver the consistency and concentricity that separate tight groups from loose ones. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a .338 Winchester Magnum or a .338-378 Weatherby, these bullets are engineered for the shooter who measures success in half-minute groups and competitive scores.
Sierra manufactures these bullets to exacting tolerances that matter when every tenth of an inch counts. The 250-grain weight in .338 caliber provides the ballistic platform for magnum rifles with appropriate twist rates—including 1-in-12-inch barrels common in .338 Winchester Magnum rifles. Shooters who have built their reputations on MatchKing accuracy will recognize the familiar profile and performance that have earned these bullets their place in loading benches across the continent.
A box of 500 gives you a substantial supply for load development, competition seasons, or consistent practice. If you're building precision magnum loads for target shooting or long-range range work, these bullets deliver the predictability and accuracy that separate winning loads from the rest. Keep in mind that MatchKing bullets are designed and optimized for target and competitive shooting; they are not recommended for hunting applications where expansion characteristics differ significantly from hunting-specific designs.
