The realm of precision shooting demands a level of consistency and accuracy that few can deliver. Enter Sierra's .22 High Velocity ammunition, a cartridge forged for the discerning marksman with an eye on Service Rifle competition using platforms such as the M16A2 or AR-15A2. With its 69-grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) MatchKing bullet, this ammunition stands at the pinnacle of performance.
Each box contains 100 rounds meticulously crafted to uphold Sierra's reputation for setting national records across the globe. The MatchKing bullet is recognized for its unparalleled accuracy, making it a staple in competitive shooting circles. However, it's important to note that while these bullets excel in target scenarios, they are not optimized for hunting applications where explosive expansion upon impact is desired.
With sectional density measured at .196 and ballistic coefficients varying from .301 to .317 depending on velocity ranges—from above 2800 feet per second down to below 2200 fps—this round ensures stability and precision over long distances. A barrel twist rate of 1x10” or faster is required to harness its full potential.
Sierra introduced this formidable projectile back in 1984, continuously proving its mettle by shattering records year after year. In summary, if your pursuit lies within hitting targets with unerring reliability rather than pursuing game with expansive terminal effects, then look no further than Sierra’s expertly engineered offering.
