Description

Sierra 30cal 155gr HPBT Match #2155

The 155-grain #2155 was specifically created for the PALMA competition (800, 900, and 1000 yards). This bullet was first launched at the 1992 PALMA events in Raton, New Mexico, and has received high appreciation from long-range competitive shooters all around the world.

Sierra MatchKing bullets have set the global standard for reliable accuracy in pistols and rifles. All 30 caliber MatchKings have been utilized in handgun silhouettes and long-range target competitions since the debut of the high-performance Remington XP-100 and similar handguns chambering bigger rifle rounds. At all ranges, Sierra's renowned MatchKing design ensures exceptional accuracy, flat trajectory, and high momentum delivery with little sensitivity to crosswinds.

FAQs

Q: Is this bullet suitable for hunting?
A: No. Sierra specifically states MatchKing bullets are not recommended for hunting due to their design focus on accuracy rather than expansion .

Q: What is this bullet best known for?
A: It’s known for excellent accuracy and consistency, especially in .308 Win platforms.

Q: How does 155gr compare to heavier match bullets (168–175gr)?
A:

  • 155gr = higher velocity, flatter trajectory (short–mid range)
  • 168–175gr = better wind resistance at longer ranges

Q: Is this good for long-range shooting?
A: Yes, especially when driven at higher velocities, though heavier bullets may outperform it in extreme long-range wind conditions.

Q: What twist rate works best?
A: A 1:10" or 1:12" twist typically stabilises this bullet well.
