Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) 22 Caliber 60 Grain Polymer Tip Boat Tail Bullets (.224 Diameter)

If you're loading precision .224 ammunition for target shooting or varmint work, the Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) 60 grain polymer tip boat tail bullet delivers the accuracy and ballistic performance that's made MatchKing a standard on the range. This 22 caliber bullet combines Sierra's proven match-grade design with an acetal resin tip—a design choice that reduces drag for a higher ballistic coefficient and improves reliable feeding in magazine-fed rifles. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for competition or maintaining a varmint setup, the TMK gives you the precision foundation that made MatchKing bullets famous among reloaders who demand consistency shot after shot.

The polymer tip serves a dual purpose: it enhances aerodynamic performance downrange while also promoting more reliable magazine feeding than traditional hollow-point match bullets. For shooters working in the 22 caliber space, the 60 grain TMK fills a real gap in the lightweight match bullet lineup. The boat tail design further optimizes trajectory and wind resistance, helping you hold tight groups at distance. This is a purpose-built round for shooters who understand that precision starts at the reloading bench.

A critical note: MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are designed and proven for target shooting and match competition. While they see use in varmint hunting, their construction doesn't deliver the same reliable explosive expansion that Sierra's lightly jacketed Hornet Blitz or Varminter bullets provide. If hunting is your primary application, those specialized designs may be a better choice. Also, your rifle's barrel twist rate must be 1:10" or faster to stabilize this bullet properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What barrel twist do I need for the 60 grain Sierra TMK?

Your rifle must have a barrel twist rate of 1:10" or faster to properly stabilize this bullet.

Are these bullets good for hunting?

These bullets are designed for target shooting and competition where their accuracy and consistency shine. While they can be used for varmint hunting, they don't provide the same reliable explosive expansion that Sierra's Hornet Blitz or Varminter bullets deliver. For hunting applications, those specialized designs are a better choice.

How does the polymer tip help feeding?

The acetal resin tip improves reliable feeding in magazine-fed firearms compared to traditional hollow-point match bullets, making it more practical for semi-automatic setups.

What's the advantage of the boat tail design?

The boat tail reduces drag and improves the bullet's ballistic coefficient, which helps it maintain velocity and energy downrange and resist wind deflection—critical for consistent long-range accuracy.
