Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 230gr HPBT MatchKing

The Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 230gr HPBT MatchKing is a top-tier component bullet crafted for precision handloading and long-range shooting applications. As part of Sierra’s revered MatchKing series, this .308‑inch, 230‑grain hollow-point boat-tail bullet delivers exceptional accuracy, ballistic consistency, and aerodynamic efficiency tailored for extreme distances.

Featuring a refined hollow-point meplat and streamlined boat-tail base, the 7.62mm 30 Cal 230gr HPBT MatchKing achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.620. This elite BC significantly reduces drag and wind drift, enabling flatter trajectories and sustained supersonic flight well beyond 1,000 yards. Its .308″ diameter ensures compatibility with popular cartridges such as .308 Winchester, 7.62×51 NATO, and 30-06 Springfield, making it versatile across precision rifle platforms.

Manufactured to meticulous factory tolerances—230.0 grains weight, 0.308″ diameter, approximately 1.225″ overall length, and a sectional density of around 0.345—the 7.62mm 30 Cal 230gr HPBT MatchKing offers tight jacket concentricity, uniform meplat geometry, and precise base alignment. The hollow-point profile supports sight-in load development and consistent flight behavior, while the boat-tail design delivers superior downrange stability and reduced turbulence behind the bullet.

Optimized for precision rifles with barrel twist rates from 1:10 to 1:12, this bullet excels in benchrest, PRS, and tactical shooting disciplines. Shooters report consistent sub‑½‑MOA groups and stable flight performance in varied weather conditions. Its controlled hollow point aids in load visualization and sight-in accuracy without sacrificial terminal fragmentation.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 230gr HPBT MatchKing allows reloaders complete control over the reloading process—primer choice, powder charge, and seating depth—enabling exact load tuning for desired ballistics, recoil, and trajectory. It is not factory-loaded ammunition, representing a match-grade option for shooters who prioritize long-range consistency and customization.

In summary, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 230gr HPBT MatchKing stands as a premium hollow-point boat-tail bullet offering high ballistic coefficient, match-grade accuracy, and reloader flexibility. Whether for extreme-distance precision, tactical competition, or long-range hunting, this 230gr MatchKing delivers elite-level performance.
