    Question Are these two projectiles the same?

    From the price they are not, but can't find any further information.

    1.Sierra MatchKing .30 CALIBER/7.62MM (.308) 168 GR HPBT

    2.Sierra MatchKing 30Cal 168gr HPBT 100 Rifle Bullets

    From the product code 2200 I can tell the 2nd one is this:

    What's the first projectile?

    I can't be sure, but I would guess one is tipped, and the other isn't. They may have just used the same picture and ad for both by accident.

    I think those are Sierra SKU 2200:
    Diameter (inches) 0.308
    Weight (grains) 168 Gr.
    Sectional Density 0.253
    Ballistic Coefficients and Velocity Ranges .462 @ 2600 fps and above .447 between 2600 and 2100 fps .424 between 2100 and 1600 fps .405 @ 1600 fps and below
    Box Count 100 Bullets, 500 Bullets


    2.Sierra MatchKing 30Cal 168gr HPBT 100 Rifle Bullets
    https://www.rangeviewsports.ca/produ...rifle-bullets/
    I believe those are Sierra SKU 2269:
    Diameter (inches) 0.308
    Weight (grains) 169 Gr.
    Sectional Density 0.254
    Ballistic Coefficients and Velocity Ranges .527 @ 2180 fps and above .505 between 1540 and 2180 fps .445 @ 1540 fps and below
    Box Count 100 Bullets, 500 Bullets

    I could be wrong, but that is what the Sierra website shows: you would have to ask Rangeview what Sierra SKU each one is.
