The Barnes Match Burners 30164 delivers exceptional accuracy for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts seeking consistent performance in .22 caliber applications. These 85-grain boat tail bullets feature Barnes' advanced copper-tin alloy construction that maintains structural integrity at high velocities while delivering superior ballistic coefficients.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the Match Burners utilize a solid copper-tin construction that eliminates core separation and weight variance issues. The precision-machined boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base alternatives, extending effective range and maintaining velocity downrange. Each bullet undergoes quality control testing to ensure weight consistency within ±0.1 grains.
Key Features
- 85-grain boat tail design optimized for .22 caliber rifles
- Solid copper-tin alloy construction eliminates lead fouling
- Precision-machined profile maintains 0.224" diameter tolerance
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.395 for extended range performance
- 100-count packaging for competitive shooting applications
- Compatible with standard .22 caliber rifle chambers
- Recommended velocity range: 2,800-3,400 fps
Competitive shooters report consistent sub-MOA groups at 200 yards when paired with appropriate powder charges and quality brass. The boat tail configuration reduces wind drift in crosswind conditions, making these bullets suitable for long-range precision work and F-Class competition. The copper-tin construction maintains performance across temperature variations from -20°F to 140°F without significant point-of-impact shifts.
