The art and science of marksmanship demand precision, and in the realm of .22 caliber ammunition, few can claim the pedigree of Sierra's 53 grain MatchKing bullets. Engineered with a high-velocity flat base design, these rounds stand as paragons for those who seek superior accuracy. Each box contains 100 meticulously crafted cartridges designed to meet the exacting standards required by competitive shooters worldwide.
With a sectional density of .151, these projectiles deliver consistent performance across various velocity ranges. From velocities exceeding 2800 feet per second (fps) down to those below 1800 fps, you will find ballistic coefficients ranging from .224 at peak speeds to .209 at lower thresholds. This engineering ensures that each bullet maintains its trajectory with remarkable stability.
While primarily intended for rifles, where their conventional design excels in delivering pinpoint accuracy on target ranges, they also perform admirably in handguns chambered for this caliber. However—and it is necessary to state plainly—these MatchKing bullets are not suited for most hunting endeavors due to their lack of explosive expansion capabilities when compared to alternatives such as Hornet Blitz or Varminter designs.
Sierra’s reputation for record-setting accuracy is well-earned through products like the MatchKing series. Whether engaged in rigorous competition or honing your skills on the range, trust these rounds to elevate your shooting experience with every pull of the trigger.
