Sierra Tipped MatchKing 22 cal 88gr Bullets 500/ct
Sierra Tipped MatchKing 22 caliber 88-grain bullets are precision reloading components purpose-built for competitive target shooting and match-grade accuracy. These .224-diameter jacketed projectiles feature Sierra's signature MatchKing design enhanced with an acetal resin tip that reduces aerodynamic drag and improves ballistic efficiency downrange. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for benchrest competition, long-range target work, or precision rifle matches, the 88-grain TMK delivers the consistency and flight characteristics serious reloaders demand.
The tipped design flattens trajectory and minimizes wind drift compared to traditional open-tip match bullets, while the optimized weight and profile feed reliably through magazine-fed systems. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.525 (G7 of 0.263), these bullets maintain velocity and energy retention across extended distances. The 500-count box gives you enough components for extended range sessions or a full season of match prep without frequent restocking.
Sierra's MatchKing bullets have long been the standard in precision rifle circles, and the Tipped variant carries that legacy forward with modern aerodynamic refinement. These are competition and target-shooting bullets—not intended for hunting. Handloaders who prioritize accuracy, consistency, and ballistic performance will find the 88-grain TMK a reliable choice for 22 centerfire applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Tipped MatchKing and standard MatchKing bullets?
The Tipped MatchKing features an acetal resin tip that reduces aerodynamic drag and improves ballistic coefficient. This results in flatter trajectories and less wind drift, making it superior for long-range precision work compared to open-tip designs.
Will these feed reliably in my magazine-fed rifle?
Yes. The Tipped MatchKing design is optimized for reliable feeding in magazine-fed systems, unlike some traditional match bullets that require single-loading.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
No. Sierra Tipped MatchKing bullets are designed for target shooting and competition, not for hunting applications.
How many bullets are in each box?
Each box contains 500 Tipped MatchKing bullets, providing ample components for extended reloading sessions and practice.
