SIG Sauer added .300 Win. Mag. to its Match Grade Elite Performance ammunition line, offering shooters a high-performance match round for precision rifles.

“The exceptional quality of our SIG Sauer Match Grade loads makes this line a top choice for professional, competition and recreational shooters alike,” said Dan Powers, president of the SIG Sauer Ammunition Division.

The .300 Win. Mag. Open Tip Match ammo features a 190-grain Sierra MatchKing bullet and features a muzzle velocity of 2,850 fps, producing 3,426 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle.

The company's line of match ammunition is made with temperature-stable propellant that is designed to give shooters a consistent muzzle velocity in every kind of weather condition. SIG Sauer also uses high-quality primers to ensure minimal variations in velocities between rounds. Finally, the company optimizes shell-case metallurgy to promote consistent bullet retention in each round.

The suggested retail price for .300 Win. Mag. Match Grade Elite Performance ammunition is $54.50 per box of 20.
