The Sierra 1455 BlitzKing delivers explosive terminal performance specifically engineered for varmint hunting and target shooting. This 55-grain spitzer boat tail bullet combines Sierra's proven accuracy with rapid expansion characteristics that make clean, one-shot stops on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The BlitzKing design features a thin jacket and polymer tip that initiates immediate fragmentation upon impact, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining flat trajectory. Unlike standard hollow points that may pencil through small game, the BlitzKing's controlled expansion ensures maximum energy transfer. Sierra's manufacturing process maintains weight consistency within 0.3 grains, delivering sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles.
Key Features
- 55-grain spitzer boat tail design optimized for 1:9 to 1:7 twist rates
- Polymer tip initiates rapid expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 4,000 fps
- Thin jacket construction ensures fragmentation on varmint-sized targets
- Boat tail base reduces drag for extended effective range
- Consistent 0.224" diameter with tight manufacturing tolerances
- Sierra MatchKing-level accuracy in an expanding bullet design
- 100-count bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions
Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy at ranges exceeding 300 yards when loaded with appropriate powders like Varget or IMR 4064. The BlitzKing maintains supersonic velocity past 400 yards in most .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO loadings, making it effective for long-range varmint control. Weather resistance remains consistent across temperature ranges, with minimal point-of-impact shift in conditions from 20°F to 100°F.
