In the realm of precision shooting, where every shot is a testament to skill and engineering, the 22 Caliber 95 Grain HPBT (#1396) stands as a paragon of accuracy. Crafted for those who demand excellence in extreme long-range performance, this bullet harnesses advanced ballistic design to deliver unwavering accuracy.
The bullet features an elongated ogive with a sleek .27 caliber profile. This aerodynamic shape reduces drag while maximizing velocity retention and wind resistance — crucial factors when engaging targets at extended distances. The final meplat reducing operation further refines its flight characteristics, enhancing its already impressive ballistic coefficient.
Precision shooters will appreciate the meticulous attention to detail that ensures perfect alignment between bullet and bore. A unique bearing surface meets the ogive junction at a precisely calculated 1.5-degree angle, matching many match rifle chamber throats for optimal consistency.
Recognized globally for their record-setting capabilities, MatchKing® bullets are engineered primarily for target applications rather than hunting pursuits. While they can be employed in varmint situations due to their reputation among marksmen, it's important to note that they do not offer explosive expansion akin to specialized varmint rounds such as Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts.
This particular projectile demands respect from your equipment; it requires a barrel twist rate of 1x6.5” or faster to perform optimally across varied conditions.
- Ballistic Coefficients & Velocity Ranges:
- .600 @ 1600 fps and above
- .556 between 1440 and 1600 fps

The journey toward mastering long-range marksmanship calls for tools designed without compromise — tools like the Sierra Bullets' MatchKing®. It's more than just ammunition; it's an investment in precision itself.
