The Sierra MatchKing .338 caliber 250gr hollow point boat tail bullet (Sierra part no. 2650) is Sierra’s pre-eminent target bullet design scaled up to serve big-bore magnum shooters. The driving motivation behind every MatchKing bullet is accuracy: these bullets use very thin jackets drawn to an exacting concentricity standard of 0.0003 inch maximum variation, with weight held to within plus or minus 0.3 grain. All MatchKing bullets share a hollow point design with a very small meplat for high ballistic coefficient, and most, including this one, use a boat tail shape to further minimize drag and improve ballistic performance. While some shooters have used MatchKing bullets for hunting, Sierra recommends them only for target shooting.
