Velocity, energy, trajectory, and 10 mph crosswind drift are published by Remington. Trajectory uses a 100-yard zero with sights 1.5 inches above the bore. Remington does not publish 100-yard-zero trajectory beyond 300 yards on these product pages, so those cells are marked “Not published.”

Bullet Design and Intended Use

Premier Match is Remington’s target and long-range line. This load uses a 140-grain MatchKing open-tip match projectile and is intended for precision shooting rather than controlled expansion on game.
