Sierra has enhanced a segment of the MatchKing line by adding the acetal resin tip, thus crowning the Tipped MatchKing bullet line. The major advantage of adding a tip to the bullet is the reduction of drag, producing a more favorable ballistic coefficient.

Due to the decades of dominance of our 168 grain MatchKing,no.2200, in our .30 caliber bullet line, including it in the new Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet line was a natural choice.

The 168-grain Tipped MatchKing bullet is an excellent choice for F-Class matches, as well as 3-Gun and various other competitions. Due to the ballistic advantage that the tip provides, the 168 Tipped MatchKing will stay supersonic at 1,000 yards at normal .308 Winchester velocities, unlike its untipped counterpart.

While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting, their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet, Blitz or Varminter counterparts.

The no.7768 was introduced in January 2015.
