Known for their consistent record-setting performance, these bullets have significantly influenced the competitive shooting landscape, propelling the M16 family of rifles to new heights in National Match competitions.

Key Features of the 80 gr HPBT Match

• Service Rifle Dominance: Sierra's 22 caliber bullets, particularly the 80 grain #9390, have redefined Service Rifle competition standards. These bullets have become integral in helping shooters attain unprecedented levels of performance and success.
• Optimal Twist Rate for Accuracy: The 80 grain MatchKing bullet requires a barrel twist rate of no slower than 1x8 inches. This specific twist rate is crucial for stabilizing the bullet in flight, enhancing its exceptional accuracy.
• Unique Overall Length (OAL) Requirement: The extended length of the 80 grain MatchKing necessitates seating to an OAL that permits single loading in M16/AR-15 rifles. This specialized seating requirement highlights the bullet's tailored design for competitive shooting.

Applications and Suitability

While Sierra's MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are globally celebrated for their accuracy in setting records, they are generally not recommended for most hunting scenarios. These bullets are crafted with a focus on precision and competition rather than traditional hunting. Although they can be used for varmint hunting, they do not provide the reliable explosive expansion at typical velocities that Sierra's Hornet, Blitz, or Varminter bullets do.
