Key Takeaway

HSM Match HSM-223-11-N is a 77 gr Sierra MatchKing hollow-point boat-tail factory load for precision target work. HSM’s current specification identifies a 50-round box and publishes 2,680 fps, 1,228 ft-lb, a 0.372 G1 BC, and a 0.182 G7 BC.

Official Ballistics

Distance	Velocity (fps)	Energy (ft-lb)
Muzzle	2,680	1,228

Conditions: HSM publishes muzzle velocity and energy for this exact load but does not state test-barrel length, zero distance, sight height, atmospheric conditions, downrange trajectory, or wind drift. No calculated trajectory or empty wind column has been added.

Bullet and Load Design

The load uses a 77 gr Sierra MatchKing hollow-point boat-tail bullet. The hollow point is part of the match-bullet geometry, and the boat-tail supports aerodynamic efficiency. HSM lists both G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients for this exact factory load.

This is match ammunition, not a purpose-built expanding hunting load. Heavy 223 Remington bullets can be sensitive to barrel twist, so confirm stability, function, and point of impact in the rifle that will be used.

Best Uses

Good fit:

Target and match shooting
Precision practice with a heavy 223 Remington bullet
Rifles that reliably stabilize and feed 77 gr projectiles

Not the right tool for:

Hunting applications that require a purpose-built expanding bullet
Rifles that do not stabilize 77 gr bullets
Treating a published muzzle figure as a rifle-specific trajectory solution

Reliability Notes

HSM describes its Match line as precision ammunition built with premium components and strict quality control. Actual velocity, feeding, and point of impact still vary by barrel, chamber, magazine, ammunition lot, and conditions. Confirm function and zero before a match.
