The Sierra 0.224 HPBT MatchKing bullet, weighing 69 grains and identified by SKU 1380, is a top choice for precision-oriented shooters. This bullet features a hollow point boat tail (HPBT) design, which optimizes aerodynamics and stability in flight. The boat tail shape reduces drag, making it ideal for long-range accuracy and consistent performance. Unlike some modern options, the Sierra #1380 is not lead-free—it incorporates a traditional lead core to achieve optimal weight and balance for competitive shooting scenarios.
Known for its match-grade quality, the 69-grain MatchKing is not typically intended for hunting, but shines in applications such as target shooting, F-Class, and High Power competitions. Its design favors shooters seeking superior precision on paper targets rather than expansion or terminal performance on game animals. The expert manufacturing and attention to detail that go into each Sierra MatchKing bullet ensure that reloaders and competitive shooters experience reliable, repeatable accuracy, shot after shot.
