Availability: In Stock
The Sierra Matchking 175-grain .308" rifle bullets are the ammunition reloader's gold standard for precision shooting. Built on decades of competitive and military heritage, these .30-caliber hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) bullets deliver the consistency that separates match winners from the rest of the field. Whether you're handloading for Service Rifle competition, long-range target work, or precision rifle applications, the 175-grain Matchking has earned its reputation through generations of record-setting accuracy and performance.
The 175-grain bullet was developed in collaboration with military ordnance experts to meet the demanding requirements of sniper systems, including the M21, M24, and M40A1. What makes this grain weight significant is its superior ballistic coefficient compared to lighter options—it maintains supersonic velocity at 1000 yards when fired from .308/7.62mm service rifles, a critical advantage for long-range competitors and precision shooters. This higher ballistic coefficient also means flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at extended ranges, translating directly to tighter groups on target.
Sierra's hollow-point boat-tail design is engineered for minimal sensitivity to crosswind and delivers the flat trajectory and predictable flight characteristics that competitive shooters demand. The 500-count box provides ample supply for serious reloaders running high-volume training or competition loads. It's important to note that Matchking bullets are optimized for target and match applications rather than hunting; their design prioritizes accuracy over expansion, making them the choice for precision rifle work where terminal ballistics aren't a consideration.

The 175-grain Matchking was developed specifically for .308/7.62mm service rifles in competitive and precision rifle disciplines. They excel in long-range target work, Service Rifle competition, and precision rifle applications where accuracy and consistency are paramount.
The 175-grain Matchking has a higher ballistic coefficient than the 168-grain variant, allowing it to remain supersonic at 1000 yards when fired from service rifles. This means flatter trajectory and reduced wind deflection at extended ranges.
Matchking bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Their design prioritizes accuracy and ballistic performance over expansion, making them better suited for target and competition shooting rather than hunting where reliable terminal performance is essential.
The box contains 500 individual bullets, providing ample supply for reloaders to prepare a substantial quantity of ammunition for competition, training, or long-range precision work.
