Remington Premier Match 308 Winchester match ammo delivers the consistency demanded by competitive shooters and precision riflemen. Each round pairs the 168-grain Sierra MatchKing jacketed hollow point with match-grade propellant and Boxer primers seated in reloadable brass. This 308 Winchester load exits at 2680 feet per second with 2679 foot-pounds of energy — enough velocity to remain supersonic past 900 yards while the projectile’s 0.462 G1 ballistic coefficient resists wind drift. Sierra MatchKing bullets have won more target competitions than all competing projectiles combined, a record built on jacket concentricity held to tolerances tighter than 0.0003 inches and weight sorting within single-grain bands.
Built for the Box
The Sierra MatchKing 168-grain projectile uses a thin copper jacket and a hollow point that extends the bearing surface without increasing bearing friction. Remington loads this bullet to produce consistent chamber pressures across temperature swings — lot testing confirms velocity spreads under 25 fps across production runs. Brass cases carry Boxer primer pockets sized for standard large rifle primers, making these cases ideal for handloaders chasing sub-MOA groups with custom charge weights.

The 168-grain MatchKing remains the benchmark mid-weight projectile for 308 Winchester precision rifles with 1:10 or faster twist rates. Handloaders use this factory load to establish baseline velocity and zero before working up custom charges. Browse the full Remington 308 ammo lineup for additional grain weights and bullet profiles.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four rules of firearms safety at all times — read our four rules guide before handling any firearm or ammunition.
- Verify current state and local ammunition regulations before ordering; some jurisdictions restrict hollow point projectiles or impose additional purchase requirements.
- This ammunition contains lead components — exposure during shooting or reloading can cause reproductive harm under California Proposition 65. Use adequate ventilation and wash hands after handling spent brass.
