Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr Tipped MatchKing

The Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr Tipped MatchKing is a premium component bullet crafted for precision long-range shooters and competitive handloaders seeking enhanced ballistic efficiency and controlled expansion. As part of Sierra’s elite MatchKing series, this .308‑inch, 155‑grain bullet features a polymer-tipped, hollow-point boat-tail design for superior aerodynamic performance and match-grade accuracy.

Featuring a polymer tip seated in a hollow-point cavity and a streamlined boat-tail base, the 155gr Tipped MatchKing achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.455. This elevated BC reduces wind drift, maintains velocity, and supports flatter trajectories in precision rifle platforms. The .308″ diameter ensures compatibility with popular cartridges such as .308 Winchester, 7.62×51 NATO, and 30-06 Springfield.

Manufactured to exacting factory specifications—155.0 grains weight, 0.308″ diameter, approximately 1.040″ overall length, and a sectional density of about 0.310—the Sierra 155gr Tipped MatchKing features uniform jacket thickness, concentric meplat, and consistent boat-tail alignment. The polymer tip transitions into a precise hollow-point profile, offering controlled expansion upon impact while retaining mass deep into target zones.

Optimized for barrels with twist rates between 1:10 and 1:12, this bullet component delivers sub‑½‑MOA accuracy in bolt-action and precision semi-auto rifles. Ideal for PRS-style competition, long-range training, and big-game hunting, it combines aerodynamic efficiency with terminal reliability under varied environmental conditions. Shooters often report consistent groupings and predictable expansion in hunting applications.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr Tipped MatchKing gives handloaders full command over load development—primer choice, powder selection, and seating depth—enabling tailored solutions for recoil management, trajectory, and terminal performance. It is not factory-loaded ammunition but represents a match-grade component option for serious precision shooters.

In summary, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 155gr Tipped MatchKing is a high-performance, polymer-tip hollow-point boat-tail bullet that blends aerodynamic excellence, accuracy, and controlled expansion. Whether you’re competing, training, or pursuing big game, this 155gr Tipped MatchKing provides consistent, efficient performance with component-level flexibility.
