.22-77 HPBT Match King Sierra Bullets with Cannelure (50 pcs)
Engineered specifically for competitive rifle shooting with the M16A2/AR-15A2 platforms, our .22 caliber projectiles have set an extraordinary number of new national records in precision marksmanship. The MatchKing® #9377, weighing 77 grains, is meticulously designed to accommodate an overall cartridge length (OAL) compatible with standard M16/AR15 magazines, ensuring seamless feeding and optimal ballistic performance.
Renowned globally for their unparalleled accuracy and consistency, the MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are precision-crafted using advanced metallic and semi-metallic materials optimized for long-range target shooting and match-grade reloading. Their streamlined ogive and boat-tail design minimize drag and enhance stability, delivering exceptional ballistic coefficients that outperform conventional projectiles under competitive conditions.
Despite their dominance in precision shooting disciplines, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are generally not recommended for most hunting applications. While they are occasionally employed for varmint and small game hunting due to their high sectional density and penetration capabilities, their construction does not facilitate the rapid, controlled expansion necessary for humane harvesting of small animals at comparable velocities. In contrast, specialized hunting bullets such as Hornet, Blitz, or Varminter with lightweight jackets provide more reliable explosive expansion and terminal performance on small game.
For optimal accuracy and stability, these bullets require a rifling twist rate of 1:8 inches or faster. This ensures proper gyroscopic stabilization throughout the projectiles flight path, maximizing precision and consistency in match-grade reloading scenarios. Reloaders and competitive shooters should carefully consider barrel specifications and load data to fully exploit the ballistic potential of these high-performance .22 caliber bullets.
