Description
PMC’s X-Tac Match in .308 Winchester is built around the Sierra MatchKing Open Tip Match bullet, a projectile designed specifically for the consistency that target shooting and competition demand. The MatchKing’s design keeps the bearing surface uniform from round to round, which translates directly into tighter vertical dispersion at distance — the kind of variance that matters when you’re reading a load for precision work rather than just putting rounds downrange.
At 168 grains, this is the weight that has become a reference point for .308 precision shooting. It sits in a useful middle ground: heavy enough to resist wind deflection more effectively than lighter loads, while staying stable through standard .308 barrel twist rates. That makes it a practical choice whether you’re running a bolt gun at the bench or a semi-automatic platform built for accuracy work.
PMC loads this round in brass cases with Boxer primers, which matters for anyone who reloads. Once-fired brass from a quality load like this is recoverable and ready for sizing, unlike Berdan-primed or steel-cased alternatives. Muzzle velocity is 2,700 fps, producing 2,719 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle — figures consistent with what this bullet weight and caliber combination delivers from a standard-length rifle barrel. Sold in 20-round boxes, with 40 boxes per case for those stocking up for extended range sessions.
