Sierra MatchKing 22 Cal 80 Grain HPBT Bullets (.224 Diameter)

The Sierra MatchKing 22 Cal 80 Grain HPBT Bullets in .224 diameter are built for handloaders who demand match-grade accuracy on the range and in the field. These hollow point boat tail rounds represent the precision engineering that's made MatchKing bullets the go-to choice for competitive shooters and serious reloaders worldwide. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a 22-250 Remington, .224 Valkyrie, or another medium-bore cartridge, these 80-grain projectiles deliver the consistency and ballistic performance that separate good groups from great ones.

Sierra engineered these bullets with ultra-thin jackets and exacting tolerances for weight and diameter—the kind of quality control that matters when you're chasing tight groups at distance. The hollow point boat tail design includes a small meplat that optimizes ballistic coefficient, giving your handloads a flatter trajectory and better wind-bucking performance than standard alternatives. That's why match competitors and long-range shooters have trusted MatchKing bullets for decades.

Reloading with quality components means your ammunition is only as good as the weakest link. These 80-grain pills give you a foundation of consistency—uniform weight, concentricity, and aerodynamic performance—so that when your groups open up, you know it's the load, not the bullet. Stock up for a full season of load development or competition without worrying about lot-to-lot variation.
