For those who seek the pinnacle of precision in shooting sports, Sierra has long stood as a beacon of excellence. Renowned among marksmen and hunters alike, Sierra's reputation for accuracy is unparalleled. Their bullets are crafted to deliver superior ballistic performance whether you're on the competitive range or out in the field.
The .22 caliber (.224) High Velocity 52 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail MatchKing bullet exemplifies this tradition of excellence. Packaged with 100 rounds per box, these projectiles are engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability. The boat tail design offers significant advantages at distances ranging from 200 to 300 yards—perfect for competition scenarios where every fraction counts.
This particular model, #1410 introduced back in 1970, remains a favorite among rifle enthusiasts looking to maximize their target acquisition capabilities over extended ranges. With sectional density measured at .148 and ballistic coefficients scaling from .225 at velocities above 3000 fps to .212 below 2200 fps, these bullets maintain flight stability under various conditions.
While primarily designed for match shooting due to their pinpoint accuracy potential, it's important to note that MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications because they lack the explosive expansion offered by alternatives like Hornet Blitz or Varminter when used against varmint-sized game.
Sierra continues its legacy as a leader in ammunition innovation; each round is meticulously constructed so you can focus on what matters most: hitting your mark with confidence and precision.
