Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) Bullets - 22 Caliber, 69 Grain, Polymer Tip Boat Tail (224 Diameter)$41.24
Availability: In Stock
The Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) 77-grain .224 bullet is a precision rifle round engineered for competitive shooters and long-range accuracy seekers who demand ballistic efficiency without compromise. By capping Sierra's legendary MatchKing profile with a polymer tip, the TMK reduces aerodynamic drag and delivers a higher ballistic coefficient—translating to flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and tighter groups at distance. The real-world advantage for reloaders: reliable feeding in AR-15 and M16 magazine-fed platforms. Load them to magazine length, and you get match-grade accuracy without the usual OAL trade-offs that force you to choose between seating depth and magazine compatibility.
This is a target and precision rifle bullet, engineered for accuracy in controlled environments. The 77-grain weight in .224 diameter pairs naturally with higher-velocity cartridges and modern sporting rifles optimized for long-range shooting. Sierra's precision manufacturing has earned respect on competitive ranges worldwide, and this polymer-tipped iteration refines that pedigree for shooters running modern platforms.
A barrel twist rate of 1-in-8 inches or faster is required to stabilize this projectile in flight. If you're pushing the limits of distance or wind, or stacking groups at 600+ yards, the aerodynamic advantage of the polymer tip compounds over standard MatchKing designs—lighter drag means easier wind reading and more consistent velocity performance. Hand loaders who care about consistency will find the boat-tail design and tight tolerances familiar from Sierra's matchgrade lineup.
| Caliber | 22 (.224 diameter) |
| Weight | 77 grains |
| Bullet Type | Tipped MatchKing (TMK), Polymer Tip, Boat Tail |
| Minimum Barrel Twist | 1-in-8 inches |
| Introduction | January 2015 |
Yes. The 77-grain TMK can be seated to an overall length (OAL) that fits standard M16/AR15 magazines, eliminating the usual compromise between seating depth and magazine compatibility that some longer match bullets require.
A 1-in-8 inch twist rate or faster is required to stabilize this 77-grain projectile. Slower twists risk bullet instability and keyholing downrange.
No. Sierra's MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are designed for target shooting and precision rifle competition, not hunting. Their construction does not provide reliable explosive expansion on game animals. For varmint or hunting applications, Sierra offers dedicated options like their Hornet Blitz or Varminter lines.
The acetal resin polymer tip reduces aerodynamic drag compared to open-point MatchKing designs, yielding a more favorable ballistic coefficient. This means less wind deflection, flatter trajectories, and more consistent velocity retention at extended ranges—all advantages for competitive and precision shooting where every inch of trajectory matters.
