The hollow point boat tail design provides that extra margin of ballistic performance match shooters need to fire at long ranges under adverse conditions.
Varmint hunting places extreme demands on bullet performance. Such bullets must be exceptionally accurate to hit small targets, lightly constructed to provide explosive expansion while minimizing ricochets, and lightweight to obtain high velocities with flat trajectories. Sierra BlitzKing® bullets are the standard against which other brands are measured.
Developed almost 40 years ago, there are few projectiles in the world that can provide the exceptional accuracy and flat trajectory seen time and time again by this high ballistic coefficient performer. Ideal for use on varmints at long range or targets, it delivers match-grade accuracy in many rifles.
Sierra Varminter HP loaded ammunition has explosive expansion and is devastatingly effective. With a relatively thin jacket this light weight projectile is an
excellent option for a hunting bullet.
