- Q & A
Any remotely experienced sniper already knows the MatchKing well. It is Sierra’s most accomplished hollow point boat tail, which, when it is .30 caliber and 168 grains, attains a brilliant G1 0.462/G7 0.224 ballistic coefficient. That means it conserves its velocity very well, which contributes to its reasonably flat trajectory (relative to other 168 grain .30 cals), higher downrange momentum retention, and impressive immunity to wind deflection.
How does the MatchKing do such nice things? Because it features a supremely concentric jacket and swaged lead core to keep it balanced, and a narrow nose cavity and boat tail to curtail in-flight drag. Though it may resemble a jacketed hollow point, the MatchKing will not expand. There are too many better bullets for deer hunting to justify using a MatchKing for that purpose!

Great
on 8/27/2013I shot some of this out of my Savage rifle and was amazed at the group sized that GM308M provided compared to ball alternatives such as Federal's AE308D and PMC's 308B which I shot in comparison. The group size shrank to 1/3 the size with this load. I'm impressed!
Premium Match Grade!
on 12/12/2010ammoforsale.com sent me out 2 boxes of this Federal .308 and I am impressed! Their shipping time is really fast and my package showed up the next day. As for the rounds, they are top notch and very precise. They deliver tight groupings and will definitely be my hunting choice now!
