The Sierra 2231 is a 200 grain 30 calibre (.308) MatchKing closed-nose hollow point boat tail, a match projectile for target shooters loading for the 308 Win, 30-06 and other 30 calibre cartridges. The 200 grain #2231 uses a long 27-calibre ogive, a closed and pointed meplat and a 1.5 degree bearing-surface-to-ogive junction that matches common match chamber throats, which is where its 0.715 G1 figure comes from.

MatchKing jackets are drawn thin and held to very tight concentricity, with a small hollow point meplat that keeps weight and balance consistent from bullet to bullet. The closed-nose (CN) versions get a final pointing operation that closes the meplat for a higher ballistic coefficient than the standard open tip. Sierra specifies a barrel twist of 1:9 in or faster for this bullet. They are a target design: Sierra does not recommend MatchKings for most hunting, and on varmints they will not open as reliably as the lighter-jacketed VarmintKing and BlitzKing bullets. Sierra introduced this bullet in 2018.
