The Sig Sauer Elite Performance .223 Rem 77gr Open Tip Match (brand part no. E223M1-20) is built for shooters who want match consistency without stepping outside a familiar .223 Remington platform. Sig Sauer loads a 77-grain open tip match bullet, a boat-tail design where the small opening at the tip is a byproduct of precision manufacturing rather than a hollow point built to expand, functioning like a match-grade full metal jacket for accuracy. Rated at 2750 fps and roughly 1293 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load gives competitive shooters real numbers to work with. In rifle ammunition for precision shooting, this is Sig Sauer’s Elite Performance match loading.
