Sierra 1410 MatchKing .22 Cal .224 52 gr HPBT 100-Count Box

The Sierra 1410 MatchKing .22 Cal .224 52 gr HPBT is a precision rifle bullet engineered for competitive target shooting and benchrest competition. Built on Sierra's proven boat-tail design, this 52-grain hollow-point boat-tail bullet delivers the accuracy consistency that has made MatchKing bullets a standard across competitive shooting disciplines worldwide. Whether you're loading for .22-250, .223 Remington, or other .224 cartridges, the 1410 is purpose-built for shooters who demand record-setting accuracy at 200 to 300 yards and beyond.

MatchKing bullets have been the go-to choice for precision rifle competitors since Sierra introduced the 1410 design in 1970. The boat-tail configuration reduces aerodynamic drag and promotes consistent bullet flight, translating to tighter groups and more predictable trajectories downrange. These bullets are equally at home in .22 caliber handgun cartridges, where they're known for delivering superior accuracy in target competition. The 52-grain weight hits a sweet spot for velocity stability and energy retention across a wide range of competitive loads.

A word on application: MatchKing bullets are not designed for hunting. Their construction prioritizes accuracy and ballistic consistency over expansion, and they won't deliver the reliable performance on game that purpose-built hunting bullets provide. Reloaders and competitors looking to wring maximum accuracy from their rifles will find the 1410 a proven choice for the handloading bench.

What cartridges can I reload with the Sierra 1410 MatchKing?
