Product Overview
Federal's Gold Medal Match 168gr Sierra MatchKing stands alone in the precision rifle world. This isn't just another .308 Winchester load - it's the benchmark against which other match ammunition is measured. At 2650 fps, these precisely assembled rounds deliver the kind of shot-to-shot consistency that turns one ragged hole into five at 100 yards. The 168-grain MatchKing bullet isn't just accurate; it's predictable across environmental conditions that would leave lesser loads struggling to stay on paper.
In precision rifle competitions, this ammunition consistently appears on winners' equipment lists. The boat-tail hollow point design cuts through wind like a laser, while maintaining stability even in challenging atmospheric conditions. Whether you're competing in F-Class matches or preparing for a precision rifle series event, these rounds deliver the sub-MOA performance needed to stay competitive. It's particularly effective between 300-600 yards, where the 168-grain bullet's stability really shines.
But what really sets this ammunition apart is its consistency from lot to lot. When you're dialing elevation for a 500-yard shot, you need absolute confidence in your dope. That's where this load earns its premium price tag - by eliminating variables from your precision equation. Each round performs virtually identically to the last, allowing you to focus on wind calls and fundamentals instead of wondering about your ammunition. For precision shooters who demand excellence, this isn't just an ammunition choice - it's an investment in accuracy.
- Match-grade construction delivers exceptional accuracy for serious target shooting
- Maintains tight groups during long practice sessions thanks to careful powder measurement
- 168-grain bullet weight provides excellent stability in windy conditions
- Proven performance record in competitive shooting environments
- Higher cost per round than standard target ammunition
- Lower velocity means more bullet drop at extended ranges
- May be more precision than needed for casual range practice
