I'm getting low on my "Ol'Reliable" 175 grain Sierra Match Kings.
It's always been my favorite long range bullet to use in my 308's, 30-06's and 300 Win Mag.
Long range being past 700 yards.

I have accurate loads worked up in all three calibers using this bullet, out to 1000 yards or a tad more.
It's an old bullet that still works well.

Sierra changed the boat tail on the 169 and 177 for better long range performance.
Particularity in the 308 cartridge out to 1000 yards.

I figured I'd ask here.
I know 1000 yard ranges are rare here in NH

Been a long day but what are you asking? Looking for 175 gr matchkings? Plenty of online vendors have them in stock. Both the old and new (tipped MK) bullets
 
Sorry if I wasn't clear.
I was wondering if anyone here had any firsthand experience shooting the newer 169 and 177 grain Matckings.
Along with the 175's, the 169's and 177's are readily available.
