220 gr Sierra's probably come closest. - Dan

The Sierra 220 Boat Tail is probably gonna be your best bet. I doubt that any of the bullet manufacturers would bother with match bullets, but I could be wrong.

If you push that Sierra 220 with some speed, it should have all the "long range" you need. [Smile]

BTW, what cartridge are you shooting them out of? I have an 8mm Rem Mag, and the 220's shoot great out of it.

I'm in the early construction stages of a 8mm-.338 RUM, Im pretty sure you could get about 3400fps with the 200gr MK's,
