The Sierra 7177C Tipped MatchKing delivers match-grade accuracy with enhanced ballistic performance for precision shooting applications. This 77-grain .224 caliber projectile combines Sierra's proven MatchKing design with an aerodynamic polymer tip that reduces drag and improves long-range trajectory consistency.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design sets these bullets apart from traditional hollow point MatchKings by providing a more consistent ballistic coefficient and improved terminal performance. The tip initiates expansion while maintaining the precise manufacturing tolerances that Sierra MatchKing bullets are known for. Independent testing shows improved accuracy potential compared to standard match bullets, with many precision rifles achieving sub-MOA groups at 100 yards.
Key Features
- 77-grain weight optimized for 1:7 and 1:8 twist rate barrels
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and downrange energy retention
- Boat tail design reduces base drag for flatter trajectory
- Precision-manufactured jacket ensures consistent concentricity
- Lead core provides controlled expansion and weight retention
- 500-count bulk packaging for high-volume shooters
- Compatible with .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO chambers
These bullets excel in competitive shooting environments where precision matters most. The 77-grain weight provides excellent stability in longer barrels while the tipped design maintains velocity better than traditional hollow points at extended ranges. Weather-resistant polymer tip construction ensures consistent performance across temperature variations, making these bullets suitable for year-round competition and precision applications.
