Description
Authentic Atomic Ammunition Match Subsonic 308 Winchester Ammo 175 Grain Sierra MatchKing Jacketed Hollow Point Box of 100 is engineered for the suppressed precision shooter who demands consistency downrange. This load pairs the legendary Sierra MatchKing projectile with a purpose-built subsonic powder charge, delivering reliable cycling and terminal performance without the supersonic crack.
Key Features
- 175gr Sierra MatchKing Hollow Point: The benchmark for long-range accuracy. The JHP design provides predictable expansion for terminal effect, a critical factor for hunting applications under stress.
- True Subsonic Velocity: Tuned to stay below 1,100 fps from a 16-inch barrel. This eliminates the sonic crack, making it ideal for suppressed fire where noise reduction is mission-critical.
- Match-Grade Consistency: Built with stringent quality control for minimal velocity deviation. This translates to tighter groups and predictable point of impact shift from your supersonic zero.
- Boxer-Primed, Reloadable Brass: Features high-quality, once-fired brass that’s been processed and reloaded to exacting standards. This matters for handloaders looking to replicate the load or repurpose the components.
