Sierra, 303cal
| brand: | sierra |
| caliber: | 311cal |
| grains: | 174gr |
This projectile, designed in the famous MatchKing tradition and intended to provide shooters of this caliber with a world-class target bullet, fills a long-neglected niche. Sierra has given shooters all over the world MatchKing quality in this caliber with this bullet. The #2315 is a popular target bullet for 303 Lee-Enfield service rifles in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. While MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are known for their record-breaking accuracy, they are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are popular for varmint hunting, their design does not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities as their lightly jacketed Hornet, Blitz, or Varminter counterparts.
Specifications:
Q: Is this bullet suitable for hunting?
A: No. MatchKing bullets are designed for accuracy, not controlled expansion, so they are not recommended for hunting.
Q: What cartridges can this bullet be used in?
A: Commonly used in .303 British, 7.7x58 Japanese, and 7.65x53 Mauser, provided your rifle uses a .311 bore.
Q: Why choose HPBT design?
A: The hollow point improves balance, while the boat tail enhances aerodynamics—resulting in better accuracy at longer distances.
Q: What velocity range can I expect?
A: Typical .303 British loads range roughly 2100–2450 fps depending on powder and charge.
Q: Is this good for older military rifles?
A: Yes, it’s widely used in surplus rifles for target shooting—but always follow safe reloading practices and start low.
