FAQ
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting?
+
No. The Sierra MatchKing bullet is a dedicated target projectile and does not provide controlled expansion, making it unsuitable for ethical hunting use.
What twist rate is recommended for the 168gr bullet?
+
Standard twist rates of 1:10 to 1:12 inches are ideal, as commonly found in many Remington 700 rifles.
Are the brass cases suitable for reloading?
+
Yes. Remington Premier Match brass cases are highly regarded for reloading thanks to their quality and primer pocket consistency.
Is this loading sensitive to wind drift?
+
Wind drift is noticeably lower than with standard FMJ bullets thanks to the MatchKing bullet’s high ballistic coefficient.
Is the primer crimped?
+
No. The primer is not crimped, making the primer pocket easier to clean during reloading.
