.224 | 69gr | Sierra MatchKing
by Sierra · See details on brand website
The Sierra MatchKing bullet is a non-lead-free, highly regarded hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design, recognized for its exceptionally aerodynamic shape and uniformity. Engineered for superior accuracy, the MatchKing features a sleek, elongated profile with a precision-formed boat tail, minimizing drag for stable, long-range trajectories. It is most suitable for competitive target shooting, benchrest, and long-range precision applications, where tight groupings and consistent performance are paramount. Not recommended for hunting due to limited expansion.
