Sierra GameKing Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 65 gr SBT 100/ct

The Sierra GameKing Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 65 gr SBT are precision rifle projectiles engineered for competitive target shooting, varmint hunting, and small-game applications where accuracy and consistent ballistics are non-negotiable. Sierra's GameKing line has earned respect among competitive shooters and hunters for delivering tight shot groups and reliable downrange performance across a wide velocity envelope. These .224-inch diameter, 65-grain soft-point boat-tail projectiles represent the middle ground between ultra-lightweight varmint rounds and heavier match-grade alternatives, making them ideal for shooters working with intermediate barrel twists and standard .22 centerfire platforms.

The soft-point boat-tail (SBT) construction combines a protected lead core with a streamlined boat-tail profile, reducing drag and promoting a flatter trajectory while maintaining adequate velocity retention to 300+ yards. The boat-tail design minimizes yaw and tumbling, delivering more predictable wind drift characteristics—critical when working windy conditions or shooting at extended ranges. Sierra's manufacturing tolerances on these bullets are exceptionally tight; each round is dimensionally consistent, which translates directly to uniform case fill, powder charge behavior, and muzzle velocity. The 65-grain weight strikes an optimal balance: heavy enough to stabilize reliably in faster-twist barrels (1:7" to 1:9"), yet light enough to achieve velocities that maximize velocity-dependent accuracy in typical .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO loads without excessive pressure.

Reloaders, competitive shooters, and field hunters working the .22 centerfire market will find these bullets suitable across .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .22-250 Remington, and similar platforms. The 100-count box format is standard for handloaders who prioritize economy without compromising per-round quality, and the modest 1-pound weight facilitates inventory management for high-volume shooters. Sierra's proven track record in precision ammunition components means these projectiles will integrate seamlessly into your existing load development—no surprises in point-of-impact shifts or velocity variance between lots.
