The Sierra GameKing .22 Cal 55gr Hollow Point Boat Tail Bullet (brand part no. 1390) is a component rifle bullet designed for hunting at long range. GameKing bullets bring the ballistic advantage of match-grade bullets to hunting ammunition through a boat tail design, and the streamlined, tapered base of this 55-grain hollow point greatly reduces drag. The result is higher retained velocity, greater striking energy, a flatter trajectory, and less wind drift, with the hollow point tip adding rapid expansion on varmint-sized game.

Key Specifications

• Bullet diameter is .22 caliber, sized for standard .22-centerfire rifle bores.
