Sierra Tipped MatchKing .224 69gr Bullets

Sierra Tipped MatchKing .224 69gr Bullets

Sierra has enhanced its legendary MatchKing line by adding an acetal resin tip to create the Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet—a cartridge that combines precision accuracy with practical performance improvements.

Key Features

• Caliber: .22 (.224 diameter)
• Weight: 69 grains
• Design: Boat-tail with ballistic tip
• Quantity: 100 per box
• Sectional Density: .196

Ballistic Performance

The acetal resin tip serves two critical purposes. First, it reduces aerodynamic drag, producing a more favorable ballistic coefficient across velocity ranges:

• .375 BC at 2700 fps and above
• .365 BC between 2700 and 1950 fps
• .335 BC between 1950 and 1700 fps
• .305 BC at 1700 fps and below

Second, the tip design ensures reliable feeding in magazine-fed firearms—a practical advantage for shooters using modern rifle platforms.

Intended Use

These bullets are engineered for precision rifle competition and target shooting. While commonly used for varmint hunting, their design prioritizes accuracy over expansion. They are not recommended for most hunting applications, as they do not provide the same reliable explosive expansion as Sierra's purpose-built varmint bullets at equivalent velocities.

Technical Requirements

This bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1-in-10 inches or faster for optimal stability and accuracy.

For over a decade, marksmen and hunters have trusted Sierra bullets for that extra margin of performance—on the range or in the field.
