The Sierra MatchKing 30 Cal 169 Grain HPBT Bullets (.308 Diameter) are purpose-built for reloaders pushing .308 Winchester or larger magnum cartridges to extended range. Sierra engineered these 169-grain hollow-point boat-tail rounds specifically to deliver consistent performance from the midrange to 1000 yards and beyond, making them a top choice for precision rifle competition, long-range hunting, and serious target work where predictable ballistics matter.
What sets the MatchKing 169 apart is its aerodynamic design: a lengthened boat-tail, a forgiving tangent ogive, and a closed nose combine to achieve a ballistic coefficient of .527 at velocity. That means the bullet stays supersonic downrange in a .308 Winchester well past 1000 yards—a real advantage when you're chasing tight groups at distance or hunting where wind drift and drop consistency are critical. The .308 diameter (.254 sectional density) works across standard .308 Winchester chambers and magnum rifles that use .308 projectiles.
These are premium HPBT match bullets, not factory ammunition; you'll load them by hand using your reloading press and dies. If you're already set up to reload .308 rounds, swapping in the MatchKing 169 is straightforward. Sierra's attention to ogive shape and nose profile keeps shot-to-shot variation low, helping you build consistent loads that shoot tight and shoot far. A natural step up for anyone familiar with Sierra's 168 MatchKing and ready to explore what an extra grain and better aerodynamics can do.
| Caliber | 30 Cal (.308 Diameter) |
| Weight | 169 Grains |
| Bullet Type | Hollow-Point Boat-Tail (HPBT) |
| Sectional Density | 0.254 |
| Ballistic Coefficient @ 2180 fps and above | 0.527 |
| Ballistic Coefficient @ 1540–2180 fps | 0.505 |
| Ballistic Coefficient @ 1540 fps and below | 0.445 |
The .308 diameter makes them suitable for standard .308 Winchester chambers and magnum rifles that use .308 projectiles. Always verify that your specific rifle's chamber accepts .308 diameter ammunition or loaded rounds before proceeding.
These are component bullets for hand reloading. You'll need a reloading press, dies, primer, powder, and brass to assemble finished cartridges. They are not factory ammunition.
Sierra designed them to remain supersonic past 1000 yards when fired from a .308 Winchester. The high ballistic coefficient (.527 at velocity) helps minimize drift and drop, making them well-suited to precision shooting from midrange to long distance. Actual performance depends on your specific rifle, load, and conditions.
The 169 MatchKing is a redesign of the 168, featuring added length in the boat-tail and improved aerodynamics. Sierra continues to manufacture both models.
