Wilson Combat Sierra MatchKing .223 Remington rifle ammunition (brand part no. A22369HPBT) loads the 69-grain Sierra MatchKing hollow point boat-tail at 2700 fps, built as Wilson Combat’s dedicated accuracy load. Unlike the brand’s hunting-oriented loads, the MatchKing bullet is engineered purely for pinpoint precision rather than terminal expansion, with a uniform jacket and boat-tail base that hold tight groups at extended range. It runs on brass cases and is suited to 1-7, 1-8, and 1-9 twist barrels, covering the rifles most .223/5.56 shooters already have. Competitive shooters reach for this load when long-range target work and match scoring matter more than hunting performance. For anyone chasing smaller groups from a Wilson Combat .223 rifle, the Sierra MatchKing is the accuracy benchmark in the lineup.
