"Full Description:\n<p>In rifles this bullet is fully capable of producing 1/4 minute of angle accuracy at velocities that would destroy most other bullets. Each bullet has the Spitzer point shape and a flat base. This bullet is the choice of many accomplished varmint hunters. It features precisely drawn jackets to assure pinpoint accuracy and reliable expansion even at maximum ranges. This bullet is slightly "hard" at 222 or 223 Remington velocities but are especially well suited for velocities from 22-250 and 220 Swift cartridges.</p> <p>For handguns while capable of producing traditional Sierra accuracy this bullet must be considered too "hard" at handgun velocities for anything other than target applications. If your handgun will produce velocities greater than 3000 fps at the muzzle the 45 grain and 50 grain bullets could be used for hunting varmints out to moderate ranges but will not have explosive expansion.</p>\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Aerodynamic Spitzer Profile: The pointed design improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in less wind drift and a flatter shooting path at extended distances.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Instantaneous Fragmentation: The thin-jacket construction is specifically calibrated to expand and fragment immediately upon impact, delivering a massive energy dump into the target.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Exceptional Flat-Base Stability: The traditional flat-base design provides a larger bearing surface, which often results in superior "out-of-the-box" accuracy and predictable performance across various barrel twists.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Match-Grade Consistency: Every Varminter bullet is held to the same exacting standards for weight and concentricity as Sierra’s competition lines, providing the sub-MOA precision needed for small targets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Soft Point Expansion: The exposed lead tip ensures positive expansion even at lower impact velocities, providing reliable terminal performance throughout the bullet's effective range.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>High-Velocity Optimized: Built to maintain structural integrity at the extreme muzzle velocities common in modern varmint cartridges without sacrificing explosive expansion on impact.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Brand: Sierra\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Category: Reloading Projectiles\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Series: Varminter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bullet Type: Spitzer (SPT)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bullet Tip: Exposed Lead Soft Point\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Application: Varmint / Small Game Hunting / Target\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jacket Material: Thin-Drawn Copper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Core Material: Lead\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cannelure: No\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Quantity: Available in various box counts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Design: Traditional Flat Base\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
