The new #2277 has incorporated designs to make a long range match bullet better. It still keeps the exceptional shoot-ability that the 175gr provides, but utilizes a closed nose meplat and other subtle features to raise the BCs to a 0.545 G1. In most cases, a reloader can use their previously developed load data and die settings from the 175gr as a starting point to work from and easily find accuracy. Sierra MatchKing bullets have set the standards worldwide for consistent accuracy in handguns as well as rifles. Since the introduction of the high performance Remington XP-100 and similar handguns chambering larger rifle cartridges, all 30 caliber MatchKings have been used in handgun silhouettes and long-range target competitions. Sierras famous MatchKing design assures superb accuracy, flat trajectory, and high momentum delivery with low sensitivity to crosswinds at all ranges.
