FED 338 LAPUA 300GR MATCHKING 20/200

Description

Federal’s Gold Medal line exists for one purpose: giving precision shooters ammunition that performs the same way every time, at distance, under match conditions. This load pairs Federal’s own Gold Medal primer—designed for consistent ignition across a wide range of temperatures—with a 300-grain Sierra MatchKing boat-tail hollow point, the bullet most commonly found in the hands of long-range competitors precisely because its jacket uniformity is held to tolerances that matter when you’re calling wind at 1,000 yards rather than hoping for it.

The .338 Lapua Magnum chambering occupies a practical space between the larger anti-materiel cartridges and the mid-bore precision rounds: it retains enough velocity and retained energy to stay supersonic well past a mile, while remaining manageable in a man-portable rifle. The 300-grain MatchKing carries a G7 ballistic coefficient of .387, which translates directly to a flatter trajectory and less wind deflection in the practical long-range engagement envelope where most serious shooters actually work.

Federal uses its own brass and a specially formulated propellant in this loading, which matters because case consistency and powder charge uniformity drive the extreme spread numbers that separate match-grade ammunition from general-purpose hunting loads. Muzzle velocity is rated at 2,580 fps. Each box contains 20 rounds, with case quantities available for extended practice sessions or pre-competition load development.
