Overview
Built for precision shooting, this 69-grain .22 caliber TMK Match bullet is intended for shooters who want a tipped design in the MatchKing line. The acetal resin tip is used to reduce drag and support a more favorable ballistic coefficient, while also helping with reliable feeding in magazine-fed firearms. Sierra notes that MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications, and that this design is commonly used for varmint shooting but does not offer the same explosive expansion as lightly jacketed alternatives. It requires a barrel twist rate of 1:10 or faster, making it a specialized choice for compatible rifles and accuracy-focused use.
