The Sierra 7160 Tipped MatchKing delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with its polymer-tipped design that enhances ballistic coefficient and reduces drag. These precision-manufactured bullets feature Sierra's renowned MatchKing profile with an added polymer tip for improved terminal performance and consistent expansion.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design sets these bullets apart from traditional hollow point MatchKings by providing a more aerodynamic profile and consistent ballistic performance. The tip initiates expansion while maintaining the accuracy standards Sierra MatchKing bullets are known for. Ballistic coefficient measures .243 G1, significantly higher than comparable non-tipped bullets in this weight class.
Key Features
- 60-grain weight optimized for .22 caliber cartridges including .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and promotes reliable expansion
- Boat tail design reduces drag and maintains velocity at extended ranges
- Sierra's precision manufacturing ensures consistent weight and dimensional tolerances
- Hollow point cavity beneath tip provides controlled expansion on impact
- Lead core with copper jacket construction for reliable feeding and accuracy
- 100-count box provides sufficient quantity for load development and competition
These bullets excel in precision rifle competitions where consistent accuracy at 300-600 yards is essential. The tipped design maintains velocity better than traditional hollow points, reducing wind drift and drop compensation requirements. Hunters appreciate the reliable expansion characteristics on medium game, while competitive shooters benefit from the enhanced ballistic coefficient for long-range target engagement.
