Sierra MatchKing Features The Sierra MatchKing 95 grain .224 caliber bullet is engineered around a sleek elongated ogive paired with a final meplat reducing pointing operation two design elements that work together to boost the ballistic coefficient and improve the bullet s resistance to wind drift at extended ranges. The bearing surface to ogive junction uses a 1.5 degree angle matching the chamber throat geometry commonly found in match grade rifles which helps ensure precise bullet to bore alignment on firing. Ballistic coefficients are rated at .600 above 1600 fps .556 between 1440 and 1600 fps and .506 at or below 1400 fps giving reloaders clear data for computing trajectories across different velocity ranges. A fast barrel twist rate of 1 in 6.5 inches or quicker is required to stabilize this bullet properly in flight. Jacketed lead construction and an open tip match design give this bullet the consistency that has made the MatchKing line a long standing favorite among competitive shooters pursuing record setting accuracy. While MatchKing bullets are sometimes used for varmint hunting Sierra notes they are not intended for most hunting applications since their construction will not produce the same reliable explosive expansion as lightly jacketed hunting bullets at comparable velocities. This 500-count bulk box is well suited to shooters loading large volumes of ammunition for extended practice sessions or competitive seasons. For precision minded shooters focused on long range accuracy in .22 caliber the Sierra MatchKing remains a proven choice.
