Sierra Tipped MatchKing 22 cal 88gr Bullets 100/ct
The Sierra Tipped MatchKing 22 caliber 88-grain bullets are a precision reloading component built for serious target shooters and match competitors who demand consistent accuracy at distance. These jacketed projectiles feature Sierra's signature acetal resin tip—a design element that cuts drag, improves ballistic efficiency, and delivers the flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift that separate competition loads from the rest. At 88 grains in .224 diameter, they're engineered to feed reliably in magazine-fed rifles while maintaining the shot-to-shot consistency Sierra's match bullets are renowned for. Each box contains 100 bullets ready to load.
Tipped MatchKing bullets are purpose-built for precision target and competition use—think benchrest, F-class, or long-range range work where every tenth of an inch matters. The aerodynamic tip design wasn't developed for hunting; these are ballistic optimizers for shooters who measure accuracy in fractions of a minute of angle and track velocity node performance across temperature swings and distances. If you're developing a handload for group testing or competition, the ballistic coefficient (G1 0.525 / G7 0.263) and consistent weight make these a solid foundation for repeatable, tight loads.
Sierra's commitment to bullet consistency—tight weight tolerances, uniform jacket wall thickness, and precise tip molding—means your reloading data and velocity nodes stay predictable from round to round. Whether you're load development work at the bench or fine-tuning a match rifle, Tipped MatchKing bullets reward precision with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles can I use these bullets in?
Sierra Tipped MatchKing 88-grain bullets are .224 diameter and designed for reliable feeding in magazine-fed rifles chambered in .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, or similar cartridges that accept that bullet diameter. Always verify your rifle's chamber and bore specs match the bullet size before loading.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
No. Tipped MatchKing bullets are purpose-built for target shooting and precision competition use. Sierra does not recommend them for hunting applications.
What's included in a box?
Each box contains 100 Sierra Tipped MatchKing 88-grain bullets, ready for reloading.
Why would I choose a tipped bullet over a standard MatchKing?
The acetal resin tip reduces drag and improves ballistic efficiency compared to flat-nose designs, resulting in flatter trajectories and less wind drift—advantages that matter in precision target work and long-range competition where distance and wind reading are critical.
