Sierra 22 Cal 69gr HPBT MatchKing

The Sierra 22 Cal 69gr HPBT MatchKing is a high-performance component bullet from Sierra’s MatchKing series, engineered for precision handloading, target shooting, and varmint control. Featuring a .224‑inch diameter and a 69‑grain hollow-point Spitzer boat-tail profile, this bullet delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency and consistent accuracy across small‑bore platforms.

With a finely crafted Spitzer ogive and tapered boat‑tail base, the 22 Cal 69gr HPBT achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.345. This elevated BC minimizes drag and wind drift, supporting supersonic flight and flat trajectories at extended ranges. Its .224″ diameter is compatible with common cartridges like .223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and .224 Valkyrie.

Manufactured to strict component tolerances—69.0 grains weight, 0.224″ diameter, approximately 0.920″ overall length, and a sectional density near 0.162—the bullet exhibits precise jacket concentricity, consistent hollow-point geometry, and tight boat-tail alignment. These qualities contribute to uniform pressure, stable flight, and tight shot groups in competition and load development.

Optimized for barrels with twist rates of 1:12 to 1:14, this 69gr HPBT MatchKing delivers reliable sub‑½‑MOA accuracy in bolt-action and varmint rifles. High-quality reloaded loads often produce tight groups with excellent downrange performance, particularly at velocities between 2,700 and 3,200 fps.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 22 Cal 69gr HPBT MatchKing gives reloaders full control over powder selection, primer type, and seating depth—enabling tailored load development for accuracy, trajectory, and recoil characteristics. It is not factory-loaded ammunition but a match-grade bullet component intended for competition shooters and serious handloaders.
