How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Winchester 69-grain Sierra MatchKing BTHP Match is a match-bullet .223 Remington load made for competitive shooting. Winchester loads a Sierra MatchKing, a hollow point with a boat tail. It leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps with 1,379 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .297.
From a 50-yard zero it drops 11.6 inches at 300 and 28.5 inches at 400. A 100-yard zero puts it 30.1 inches low at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's BLACK 75-grain BTHP Match carries a much higher G1 BC of .395 and starts 210 fps slower, and from a 50-yard zero it drops 30.7 inches at 400. Federal's Gold Medal 69-grain BTHP is the same bullet at a G1 BC of .301, 50 fps slower at the muzzle.

- Still moving at 1,859 fps at 400 yards

- A lower G1 BC than both Hornady match loads compared, .297 against .355 and .395
- Drops 1.4 inches more at 400 yards than Hornady's Frontier 68-grain BTHP Match from a 50-yard zero
