20rds – 7.62x51 Winchester Service Grade 175gr. HPBT MatchKing M118LR Ammo

Winchester Ammunition 175 Grain Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Ammo Details

The “LR” in M118LR stands for “long range.” Chamber Winchester’s Service Grade M118LR ammunition in any 7.62x51 or 308 Win rifle and you’ll immediately become impressed by its long range performance. (Assuming that your aim is also good – but ammo can only help so much with that!)

Winchester loads this sniper’s cartridge to precise specifications. The round achieves such heightened accuracy thanks to its 175 grain MatchKing by Sierra. That hollow point boat tail bullet has been used to win more target competitions than all other target bullets – combined.

The MatchKing features a precision-angled boat tail, sharp tip, concentric jacket and evenly distributed solid lead core. All of these contribute to the MatchKing’s high 0.496 ballistic coefficient, ensuring it follows a tight, level trajectory, retains greater momentum hundreds of yards out, and resists getting pushed off course by cross and vertical winds.

Sierra’s famous match bullet is seated in a military-grade brass case, with a sensitive Boxer primer to get the show started. Count on this round’s propellant to mitigate muzzle flash and still deliver stable muzzle velocities under extreme temperatures. Just don’t expect it to foul your rifle very quickly!
