The Sierra 1410 MatchKing 52-grain hollow point boat tail bullets deliver match-grade precision for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. These .224 diameter projectiles feature Sierra's proven MatchKing design with consistent weight tolerances and aerodynamic profiles that maintain velocity downrange.
What Makes This Different
The hollow point boat tail configuration reduces drag coefficient compared to flat-base bullets, extending effective range and improving wind resistance. Sierra's manufacturing process maintains weight variations within ±0.3 grains, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency that separates match bullets from standard hunting projectiles. The boat tail design provides approximately 15% better ballistic coefficient than comparable flat-base bullets.
Key Features
- 52-grain weight optimized for 1:12 and faster twist rates in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO
- Hollow point boat tail design with .224" diameter and sectional density of 0.148
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.231 (G1) for superior long-range performance
- Consistent jacket thickness and lead core distribution for uniform expansion
- Match-grade construction with weight tolerance under 0.5 grains
- 100-count plastic box with foam insert prevents bullet damage during storage
- Compatible with standard .224" reloading dies and seating stems
These bullets excel in competitive shooting disciplines including High Power, F-Class, and precision rifle competitions where accuracy standards demand sub-MOA performance. The 52-grain weight provides optimal stability in barrels with 1:12" twist rates while maintaining sufficient velocity for 300-600 yard engagements. The boat tail design reduces sensitivity to crosswinds and maintains supersonic flight longer than flat-base alternatives.
