Sierra MatchKing #2277 .30 Cal 177gr HPBT Bullets

Sierra MatchKing bullet #2277, .30 caliber, 177 grain HPBT (Sierra part no. 2277MP), refines the long-range match bullet formula that made Sierra’s earlier 175-grain .30-caliber MatchKing a proven performer. It keeps that same exceptional shootability while adding a closed-nose meplat and other subtle design changes that raise the ballistic coefficient to .545 G1, and reloaders can typically reuse load data and die settings developed for the 175-grain version as a starting point. Sierra MatchKing .30-caliber bullets have set the accuracy standard worldwide, used in both rifles and handgun silhouette competition since the Remington XP-100 and similar large-cartridge handguns popularized the category.
