For rifles the 52 grain #1410 bullet offers the shooter all the advantages of a boat tail design for 200 to 300 yard competition.

In handguns chambering cartridges in 22 caliber the 52 grain #1410 MatchKing bullets often deliver superior accuracy in target competition.

While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing and Tipped MatchKing bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet Blitz or Varminter counterparts.

The #1410 was introduced in 1970.
