Sierra’s MatchKing line has set the standard for competitive rifle accuracy for decades, and this .338 caliber, 250-grain hollow point boat-tail bullet (brand part no. 2650C) is manufactured to that same exacting MatchKing standard. It’s intended for rifles shooting magnum cartridges such as the 338 Winchester Magnum and 338-378 Weatherby, and it shoots well in 338 Winchester Magnum barrels with a 1-in-12-inch twist rate. While recognized worldwide for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications; their design won’t provide the same reliable expansion in varmints that a lightly jacketed varmint bullet offers. For handloaders standardized on Sierra match components, this reloading bullet is built for serious long-range magnum accuracy.
