Sierra’s MatchKing line is the company’s pre-eminent target bullet, and this 80 gr .22-caliber hollow point boat-tail (part no. 9390T) is built with accuracy as the only goal. Sierra draws thin jackets to an exacting 0.0003-inch concentricity standard and holds weight within plus or minus 0.3 grain, then finishes the nose with a small meplat hollow point for a high ballistic coefficient. Most MatchKing bullets, this one included, use a boat-tail base to further cut drag. This is a component bullet for handloaders, not a loaded round.
