Product Overview
The Federal Premium Sierra MatchKing .338 Lapua Magnum 300gr HPBT represents the pinnacle of long-range precision ammunition. With its exceptional 0.768 G1 ballistic coefficient and 300-grain Sierra MatchKing bullet, this load excels in competitive precision rifle matches where shooters engage targets beyond 1,000 yards. The heavy bullet maintains velocity and resists wind drift better than lighter projectiles, making it a favorite among F-Class and ELR (Extreme Long Range) competitors who demand consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extreme distances.
Military and law enforcement precision marksmen also rely on this ammunition for its proven terminal performance and predictable trajectories. The 2,580 fps muzzle velocity paired with 4,434 ft-lbs of energy provides the power needed for effective engagement at extended ranges while maintaining the accuracy these professionals require. The boat-tail hollow point design ensures exceptional flight characteristics, and the match-grade consistency Federal builds into every round translates to predictable point-of-impact shifts when calculating complex ballistic solutions.
For serious long-range enthusiasts building custom precision rifles, this ammunition serves as an excellent baseline for developing handloads or establishing rifle capabilities. The premium brass cases are reloadable, and the consistent performance allows shooters to confidently zero their rifles and validate ballistic calculators. Whether breaking in a new barrel, testing a scope's tracking, or practicing wind-reading skills at distance, this ammunition delivers the precision and consistency that demanding shooters expect from Federal's Gold Medal lineage.
