The Sierra MatchKing 22 caliber 90-grain hollow point boat tail bullets deliver exceptional accuracy for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. These match-grade projectiles feature Sierra's proven MatchKing design, engineered specifically for superior ballistic performance in .224 diameter applications.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's MatchKing bullets incorporate a hollow point design that shifts the center of gravity rearward, enhancing stability and consistency downrange. The boat tail configuration reduces drag by approximately 6-8% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range while maintaining velocity. Each bullet undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure weight variance stays within ±0.3 grains.
Key Features
- 90-grain weight optimized for 1:7 and 1:8 twist rate barrels
- Hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design for maximum ballistic coefficient
- Jacket thickness engineered for consistent expansion at target velocities
- Diameter: .224 inches with tight manufacturing tolerances
- Compatible with .223 Remington, 5.56x45mm NATO, and .22-250 cartridges
- Match-grade construction for competitive shooting applications
- 50-count packaging reduces cost per round for volume shooters
These bullets excel in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential. The 90-grain weight provides excellent stability in crosswinds while maintaining flat trajectory out to 600 yards. Long-range shooters appreciate the consistent ballistic coefficient of .450 (G1), which translates to predictable drop and drift calculations. The hollow point construction ensures clean entry holes in paper targets for accurate scoring.
