The Sierra MatchKing 22 caliber 69 grain HPBT bullets are purpose-built for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts who demand repeatable, record-setting accuracy. Loaded into thousands of winning Service Rifle competition rounds, these .224" projectiles have earned their reputation through consistent performance at distances where every tenth of an inch matters. If you're handloading for an AR-15 or M16A2 platform and your barrel twist rate is 1x10 or faster, these bullets deliver the precision needed to stay competitive on the range.
The 69-grain hollow point boattail profile is optimized for short- to mid-range accuracy work. The heavier jacket construction prioritizes bullet integrity and consistency over explosive expansion—a trade-off that works in favor of target performance and shooter confidence. These bullets have proven themselves in both competition and short-range varminting applications, though they're not recommended for hunting. If you do venture into varmint territory, keep your shots close and rely on precise placement rather than shock effect.
Built with the same quality control that's made Sierra a staple in competitive reloading rooms nationwide, each box contains 500 bullets ready for your press. The ballistic coefficients vary with velocity—.301 at 2800 fps and above, .305 between 2800–2200 fps, and .317 at subsonic speeds—giving you realistic data for load development across your intended velocity range.

Your rifle must have a rifling twist of 1x10 or faster. Slower twist rates will not stabilize this 69-grain projectile properly.
No. Sierra specifically does not recommend MatchKing bullets for hunting applications. These bullets are designed for competitive target shooting and precision accuracy, not game.
Yes, though they are better suited to short-range varminting. The heavier jacket means less explosive expansion compared to lighter varmint designs, so rely on accurate shot placement and keep your effective range conservative.
These bullets are designed for 22 caliber rifles, including Service Rifle competition platforms like the AR-15 and M16A2, as well as any other .224" bore centerfire rifle with proper twist rate.
