Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr HPBT MatchKing

The Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr HPBT MatchKing is a precision component bullet meticulously engineered for long-range performance, competitive shooting, and tactical handloading. Part of Sierra’s elite MatchKing series, this .308-inch, 155gr hollow-point boat-tail design delivers match-grade accuracy and aerodynamic efficiency optimized for supersonic stability.

Featuring a finely formed hollow-point meplat and tapered boat-tail base, the 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr HPBT MatchKing achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.435, reducing drag and improving wind resistance. This efficiency supports flatter trajectories, reduced velocity loss, and consistent shot placement at distances exceeding 800 yards. The .308″ diameter is compatible with popular rounds like .308 Winchester, 7.62×51 NATO, and 30-06 Springfield.

Manufactured to Sierra’s tight tolerances—155.0 grains weight, 0.308″ diameter, ~1.035″ overall length, and a sectional density of about 0.310—the 155gr MatchKing ensures exceptional uniformity, jacket consistency, and concentricity. The hollow-point cavity offers a defined sight-in profile and consistent ignition, while the boat-tail enhances downrange stability and suppresses base drag.

Optimized for twist-rate barrels from 1:10 to 1:12, this bullet delivers sub‑½‑MOA accuracy in precision bolt-action and semi-auto platforms. Ideal for PRS-style competition, long-range training, and precision hunting, shooters consistently report tight groups and neutral flight behavior under varying wind and environmental conditions.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr HPBT MatchKing gives handloaders full control over primers, powder, and seating depth—empowering tailored load recipes for recoil management, trajectory optimization, and terminal performance. It is not factory-loaded ammunition; it caters to reloaders seeking component-level consistency and customization.

In summary, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr HPBT MatchKing is a top-tier match-grade hollow-point boat-tail bullet offering outstanding accuracy, high ballistic efficiency, and handloader flexibility. Whether in competition, tactical drills, or long-range precision setups, this 155gr MatchKing variant delivers reliable, repeatable performance.
