Sierra .22 Caliber Tipped MatchKing Bullets
For decades, the name Sierra has been synonymous with accuracy and superior ballistic performance. Whether on the range or in the field, Sierra bullets deliver an extra margin of reliability that marksmen and hunters alike have come to trust.
The .22 caliber (0.224) High Velocity 77-grain bullet is part of Sierra's enhanced MatchKing line, featuring their innovative Tipped MatchKing (TMK) design. This advancement includes an acetal resin tip, which significantly reduces drag for a more favorable ballistic coefficient.

- Grain Weight: 77 grain

This TMK bullet offers reliable feeding in magazine-fed firearms such as M16/AR15 platforms by allowing seating to an overall length suitable for loading into standard magazines. While these bullets are celebrated worldwide for setting records in precision shooting, they are not optimized for most hunting scenarios due to their specific design characteristics.
Acknowledged primarily as a target projectile, it can be employed effectively against varmints but lacks the explosive expansion seen with lightly jacketed counterparts like Hornet Blitz or Varminter when used at equivalent velocities.
The #7177 model was introduced in January 2015 and requires a barrel twist rate of at least 1x8” or faster to ensure optimal stability and performance during flight.
Sierra continues its legacy by pushing boundaries within its craft—offering shooters unparalleled precision where it matters most: downrange impact.
