For those who demand precision above all else, Sierra stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of ballistics. For decades, marksmen and hunters have trusted this name for its unwavering commitment to accuracy and performance. Whether on the competitive range or out in the field, Sierra bullets provide that crucial edge you can rely upon.
The .22 caliber Tipped MatchKing Boat Tail bullet is a testament to Sierra's dedication to innovation. Weighing in at 69 grains, this projectile has been meticulously engineered with an acetal resin tip—an enhancement that significantly reduces drag and enhances ballistic coefficient. This design ensures superior flight stability across various velocity ranges: an impressive .375 ballistic coefficient at speeds exceeding 2700 fps; .365 between 2700 & 1950 fps; .335 from 1950 down to 1700 fps; and finally settling at .305 below 1700 fps.
Sierra's introduction of the Tipped MatchKing line brings not only improved aerodynamic efficiency but also reliable feeding when used with magazine-fed firearms—a critical feature for any serious shooter. However, it’s important to note that while these bullets are renowned globally for setting records in accuracy competitions, they are not typically recommended for hunting applications where explosive expansion is required.
Introduced in January 2015 under model #7169, these bullets require a barrel twist rate of 1x10” or faster to achieve optimal stabilization during flight. Each box contains one hundred rounds designed specifically for those who understand that true marksmanship requires nothing less than perfection.
