The Sierra 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing is a high-performance bullet component designed for handloading varmint rifles chambering .22-caliber cases like .223 Remington and 5.56×45 NATO. This flat-base, polymer-tipped projectile offers a sharp Spitzer profile and excellent aerodynamic efficiency, making it ideal for shooters seeking explosive terminal performance and steady accuracy on small game. This is a bullet component only, not factory-loaded ammunition, optimized for custom load development and hunting applications.

The Sierra 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing features a lightweight 55-grain jacketed bullet with Sierra’s signature green polymer tip. The tip enhances the ballistic coefficient and initiates rapid expansion upon impact. The bullet’s design ensures reliable mushrooming and energy transfer while maintaining tight groups downrange. This 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing delivers explosive terminal results on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small game at typical varmint ranges.

Chambered in popular varmint calibers, the Sierra 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing showcases a G1 ballistic coefficient in the range of 0.245–0.270 velocity-dependent, helping the bullet resist wind drift and preserve velocity on long shots. The sectional density is optimized for varmint use, ensuring quick fragmentation without overpenetration. When handloaded properly, the 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing maintains elevation and point of impact consistency across extended shooting sessions.

This bullet component is compatible with bolt-action and modern sporting rifles featuring 1:12″ to 1:14″ twist barrels. The Sierra 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing performs reliably when seated to standard overall lengths, promoting dependable feeding in magazine-fed systems. Reloaders appreciate the uniform weight (±0.3 gr) and strict base-to-ogive tolerances, aiding in developing consistent loads for varmint hunting or precision practice.

Handloaders report the Sierra 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing achieving sub‑MOA accuracy at 100 yards and maintaining performance out to 300+ yards at typical varmint velocities of 3,700–4,000 fps. The bullet’s polymer tip prevents core-jacket separation and helps produce sharp bullet expansion. Many users describe its terminal performance as “bomb-like on small game,” striking the balance between precision and explosive energy.

Available in 100-count boxes, the Sierra 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer BlitzKing offers reloaders a high-speed, high-performance bullet component tailored for varmint control and accuracy-focused shooting.
