The MatchKing is a high-quality hollow point boat tail. If you expect the bullet’s nose cavity to trigger terminal expansion, don’t. Sierra poured molten lead into an extremely concentric copper shell, thus creating a bullet with essentially flawless rotational stability. The MatchKing’s exquisite balance and sleek profile give it a 0.372 G1 ballistic coefficient (or more accurately a 0.188 G7 BC, since it has a boat tail). So long as the HPBT achieves its muzzle velocity of 2,720 fps, it’s not undergoing transonic destabilization until it touches 820 yards. (Note that a 1:6–1:8” barrel twist is considered ideal for a heavyweight 77 grain bullet.)
Federal lets the MatchKing’s full potential shine. Each round in this case of 10 boxes features a benchrest-grade Gold Medal primer, specially formulated powder charge, and Federal’s highest-quality reloadable brass case. This ammo is all-American: Missouri-made bullet, Minnesotan manufacturer.
