Overview
Built for Service Rifle and National Match competition, this 22 caliber 80 grain MatchKing bullet is intended for shooters working with M16A2/AR-15A2 platforms and similar rifles. Its long profile requires a barrel twist rate of 1x8 inches or faster, and it must be seated to an overall length that calls for single loading in the M16/AR-15 series. The design is recognized for record-setting accuracy, but it is not recommended for most hunting applications and is not intended to deliver the same type of explosive expansion as lightly jacketed varmint bullets. For reloaders focused on match use, it is important to verify load data in a reloading manual or powder manufacturer resources before assembling ammunition.
