Sierra MatchKing bullets (Sierra part no. 2269) in .30 caliber (.308-inch diameter) at 169 grains were purpose-designed to shoot 1000 yards from a .308 Winchester. Sierra lengthened the boat-tail and engineered a forgiving tangent ogive with a closed nose to hold a 0.527 ballistic coefficient, which keeps the bullet supersonic past 1000 yards from a .308-length chamber.
