SIERRA BULLETS
The Sierra 2277MP MatchKing is a 30-caliber match-grade rifle bullet engineered for precision shooting and competitive accuracy at extended distances. At 177 grains with a boat-tail design and hollow-point construction, this round represents decades of Sierra's commitment to consistent ballistics and record-setting performance in benchrest, long-range target, and precision rifle competitions. Reloaders who've worked with Sierra's 175-grain MatchKing will find the 2277MP a natural progression—designed to drop into existing load data and die settings as a reliable starting point while delivering improved ballistic coefficient and downrange performance.
What sets the MatchKing apart is its closed-nose meplat design and refined aerodynamic profile, combined with a ballistic coefficient of 0.545 (G1). This translates to a flatter trajectory, less wind deflection, and greater momentum retention at distance—advantages that matter in precision rifle competitions where tiny margins separate first place from the rest. The bullet's renowned consistency comes from Sierra's exacting manufacturing standards, the same ones that have backed state, national, and world records across competitive shooting disciplines.
While MatchKings are optimized for target and competitive shooting, it's worth noting that they're designed with accuracy and performance at distance as the primary goal, not terminal expansion for hunting. Handloaders pursuing extreme accuracy at the range or competition line will find the 2277MP a trusted choice built on proven MatchKing heritage.
| Caliber | 30 Caliber |
| Weight | 177 grains |
| Bullet Style | Boat-tail Hollow-point |
| Ballistic Coefficient (G1) | 0.545 |
| Design Type | MatchKing (match-grade) |
Yes—the 2277MP is designed to work with your existing 175-grain MatchKing load data and die settings as a reliable starting point, though you'll want to verify accuracy and chronograph performance as with any load development.
MatchKing bullets are designed primarily for target and competitive shooting, not hunting applications. Their design does not deliver the reliable expansion required for ethical hunting performance.
The closed-nose meplat and aerodynamic refinements raise the ballistic coefficient to 0.545 (G1), resulting in a flatter trajectory, reduced wind deflection, and greater momentum downrange—key advantages in long-range precision competitions.
