20rds – 338 Lapua Magnum Vairog 250gr. HPBT MatchKing Ammo

Vairog 250 Grain Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Ammo Details

The 338 Lapua Magnum is a sharpshooter’s rifle. You don’t want to waste your time with subpar ammo while you’re trying to hammer the 1,000-yard targets, which is why you want Vairog’s match-grade ammunition. It’s loaded with the bullet that has won more target shooting competitions than all others combined!

That’s right: This round’s 250 grain hollow point boat tail is the MatchKing by Sierra. The MatchKing achieves optimal in-flight rotational stability courtesy of its concentric jacket, uniform core and perfectly centered meplat. The MatchKing’s narrow tip, optimized jacket geometry and gracefully angled boat tail all enable it to stir up very little drag as it reaches farther and farther downrange. Wind can’t do very much to push so heavy and ballistically efficient a bullet off-course, and it retains the momentum requisite to keep a flat trajectory even at lower velocities.

Vairog respects the MatchKing by loading it in their own match brass case, which is annealed to efficiently seal off the chamber during ignition and drawn according to the strictest specifications. The Latvian manufacturer ensures reliable ballistic performance by further arming their reloadable cases with match primers and propellant.
