Description

Sierra 22cal 40gr Blitzking #1440

This bullet for rifles is made for explosive expansion in varmints and small game and has the same accuracy as MatchKing bullets. The sharp points on the nose of this bullet, which are constructed of an exclusive acetyl resin compound, increase the ballistic coefficient compared to the conventional flat-base Spitzer bullet design. The base of the 40 grain BlitzKing #1440 is flat. All 22 caliber BlitzKing bullets are made to be fired at muzzle velocity as high as 4400 fps.
