Sierra MatchKing Bullets .224" 69 gr (#1380) Competition-Grade Precision for Service Rifles
The Sierra MatchKing 69-grain .224" caliber bullets are meticulously engineered to deliver superior accuracy and consistency in high-level service rifle competitions, particularly optimized for platforms such as the M16A2 and AR-15A2. Since their debut in 1984, these projectiles have set multiple national records, establishing themselves as a benchmark for precision shooting and ballistic performance in the metallic and semi-metallic reloading community.

Featuring a hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design, these bullets enhance aerodynamic efficiency by reducing drag and improving in-flight stability. This results in flatter trajectories, improved ballistic coefficients, and superior velocity retention at extended ranges. The HPBT profile is critical for minimizing wind drift and maintaining supersonic flight over long distances, making them ideal for precision target shooting and tactical applications. It is essential to use a rifling twist rate of 1:10" or faster to ensure optimal gyroscopic stabilization of the projectile during flight. [Source: Sierra Bullets]
Reloading and Usage Guidelines
To maximize the ballistic potential and accuracy of the Sierra MatchKing #1380 bullets, reloaders and marksmen should consider the following technical recommendations:
- Employ powders specifically formulated for the .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO cartridges, adhering strictly to the load data and pressure limits provided by Sierra Bullets to ensure safe and consistent performance.
- Precisely measure and adjust the overall cartridge length (OAL) to guarantee reliable feeding and chambering in semi-automatic and bolt-action rifles, optimizing the bullets jump to the rifling for enhanced accuracy.
- Conduct systematic load development and accuracy testing to identify the ideal powder charge, primer, and seating depth combination tailored to the individual rifles barrel harmonics and chamber dimensions.
While the Sierra MatchKing bullets are globally acclaimed for their match-grade precision and are a staple in competitive shooting disciplines, they are generally not recommended for hunting applications. Their HPBT construction prioritizes aerodynamic stability over terminal expansion, resulting in less effective energy transfer and controlled expansion compared to thinner-jacketed hunting bullets designed for varmint or predator control. For hunting scenarios requiring rapid expansion and tissue disruption, alternative bullet designs with specialized jackets and core materials are preferable. [Source: Sierra Bullets]
