Description

Sierra 22cal 55gr Blitzking #1455

This bullet for rifles is made for explosive expansion in varmints and small game and has the same accuracy as MatchKing bullets. The sharp tips on the noses of the bullets, which are constructed of an exclusive acetyl resin compound, increase the ballistic coefficient compared to the conventional flat-base Spitzer bullet design. The boat tail on the 55 grain #1455 improves the ballistic coefficient in comparison to flat-base designs in these bullet weights. All 22 caliber BlitzKing bullets are made to be fired at muzzle velocity as high as 4400 fps.
