The Sierra MatchKing Rifle Bullets in .30 caliber, 150 grain hollow point boat tail (Sierra part no. 2190C) are the pride of the Sierra bullet family, unmatched worldwide for competitive accuracy.

Since the rise of high-performance handguns chambering rifle cartridges, this 500-count box has also become a standard choice for handgun silhouette and long-range target competitions.
