Limitations in Hunting Applications

While the MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets, including the .30 Cal 210 gr HPBT MatchKing®, are renowned for their record-setting precision, they are generally not recommended for most hunting applications:

• Hunting Constraints: The construction of these bullets is optimized for accuracy rather than terminal performance. As such, they do not provide the reliable explosive expansion needed for effective hunting at equivalent velocities, particularly when compared to bullets like the Hornet, Blitz, or Varminter, which are designed specifically for such purposes.

• Varmint Hunting: Although sometimes used for varmint hunting due to their precision, the MatchKing® bullets’ performance in terms of expansion is less effective compared to more traditionally designed varmint bullets.

Technical Requirements for Optimal Performance

To achieve the best results from the .30 Cal 210 gr HPBT MatchKing®, certain rifle specifications are recommended:

• Barrel Twist Rate: The bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1×10 inches or faster. This specification is critical to ensure that the bullet stabilizes properly and performs as intended over long distances.
