Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets 8mm .323" 200 gr HPBT MATCH 100/ct
$67.11
The Sierra MatchKing 8mm .323" 200 grain HPBT rifle bullet is a precision-engineered round purpose-built for match-grade accuracy in European and magnum cartridges. Loaded with one hundred bullets per box, these hollow point boat tail rounds deliver the record-setting consistency that has made MatchKing a standard among competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you're loading for an 8mm Remington Magnum, 8 x 57mm, or another traditional 8mm platform, this bullet gives you the ballistic performance and concentricity that separates competitive loads from the rest.
Sierra designed the 8mm MatchKing specifically to fill a gap in the market for serious shooters who demand accuracy in less-common calibers. The 200 grain weight strikes a practical balance for magnum velocities while maintaining the aerodynamic profile that makes MatchKing bullets famous on the range. The boat tail design and precisely formed hollow point work together to produce minimal bullet-to-bullet velocity variation—critical when every tenth of a second counts at a match.
It's important to note that MatchKing bullets are engineered for target shooting and varmint applications rather than hunting. Their design prioritizes accuracy and precision over the reliable expansion needed for hunting game. If you're developing loads for a hunting rifle, Sierra's Hornet or Varminter offerings may be better suited to your needs. But for handloaders focused on precision rifle competition, long-range target work, or varmint shooting in 8mm, the MatchKing delivers the consistency you expect from a world-class match bullet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms are these 8mm bullets designed for?
The Sierra MatchKing 8mm .323" 200 grain bullet was developed for European 8mm cartridges and American magnum platforms, including the 8mm Remington Magnum and 8 x 57mm, as well as other traditional 8mm rifles.
Are MatchKing bullets suitable for hunting?
No. MatchKing bullets are specifically designed for target shooting, match competition, and varmint hunting. Their design does not provide the reliable expansion needed for hunting larger game. Sierra recommends their Hornet or Varminter product lines for hunting applications.
Can these bullets be used for varmint shooting?
Yes. While MatchKing bullets are recognized primarily for competitive accuracy, they are commonly used for varmint hunting. However, Sierra notes they may not deliver the same reliable expansion at equivalent velocities compared to their lighter-jacketed Hornet Blitz or Varminter offerings.
How many bullets are in each box?
Each box contains 100 Sierra MatchKing 8mm bullets, a convenient quantity for handloaders developing match loads or testing cartridge performance.
