Federal Gold Medal Match .223 Remington loads a 69-grain Sierra MatchKing boat-tail hollow point, one of the most widely used match bullets in precision shooting. It is factory ammunition built for competitors and precision shooters who want consistent, repeatable accuracy without loading their own.
Federal's Gold Medal line uses a primer the company designs for sensitivity and consistent ignition, which is part of why the round meters reliably from shot to shot. The Sierra MatchKing's boat-tail design holds velocity and resists wind drift better than lighter bulk bullets at distance, making it a common choice for long-range rifle stages and zero work.
Federal lists the specifications at 2,950 fps muzzle velocity, 1,333 ft-lb muzzle energy, and a ballistic coefficient of 0.301. The 69-grain weight requires a 1:9 twist or faster to stabilize, and it performs best in the 1:8 and 1:7 twist barrels common on match-built AR-15s and bolt guns. It will not reach its accuracy potential in older 1:12 barrels. Sold as a 20-round box. Made in the USA.
