Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles will these .22 caliber bullets work in?
These bullets are designed for standard .22 caliber rifles that chamber .224" diameter projectiles. Confirm your rifle's bore diameter and twist rate before loading; your rifle's manual or a gunsmith can verify compatibility if you're unsure.
Are flat-base bullets different from boat-tail?
Yes. Flat-base bullets have a flat rear end, which simplifies neck fit and seating and is the traditional choice for many reloaders and competition shooters. Boat-tail bullets have a tapered rear end designed to reduce drag. Both have their place depending on your rifle, distance, and accuracy goals.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a full complement for load development, testing, or stocking up for practice and competition.
Can I use these for hunting, or are they match/target only?
Match Burners are engineered for accuracy and consistency, making them well-suited to precision shooting applications. Use for hunting depends on your local regulations, game, and rifle setup—consult your state's hunting guidelines to confirm what's legal for your intended game.
