Rifles Descriptions
308 - 155 Grain HPBT MatchKing - Federal Gold Medal - 20 Rounds
Put on your best tuxedo and slick your hair straight back (or if you’re bald like me, polish your head). This 308 Win ammunition is for fancy shooting! Federal’s Gold Medal label ammo features the bullet that has been fired to win more target shooting competitions than all other bullets combined: the Sierra MatchKing. This cartridge sports the lighter 155 grain .30 cal MatchKing. It is a match grade hollow point boat tail, with a jacket that is drawn within an exacting concentricity standard of ±0.0003” in max variation. This is not a hunting bullet – the MatchKing only has a hollow point because its core is inserted into place so it can perfectly match the jacket’s contours once it hardens. The precision poured lead core possesses no voids that could have harmed balance, and it is measured so that no MatchKing deviates from 155 grains by more or less than 0.3 grains. The MatchKing ends in a boat tail, a feature which helps the HPBT retain more velocity, hold on to a flatter trajectory, and hold out against crosswinds. The MatchKing’s stellar accuracy is as valuable at the rifle range as it is for varmint hunting. Federal takes care to put the MatchKing’s consistent ballistics on full display by loading it with a premium brass case, benchrest-grade match primer, and specially formulated powder.
Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294
The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
