The Sierra 1330 Varminter delivers exceptional accuracy and explosive terminal performance for serious varmint hunters and precision shooters. These 50-grain spitzer bullets feature Sierra's proven thin jacket design that ensures rapid expansion on impact while maintaining flight stability at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Varminter line utilizes a specialized jacket thickness that's 30% thinner than standard hunting bullets, creating devastating expansion on small game while preserving accuracy. The spitzer profile maintains a ballistic coefficient of .242, significantly outperforming flat-base alternatives in wind drift and velocity retention. Quality control standards ensure weight variance stays within ±0.3 grains across the entire production lot.
Key Features
- 50-grain spitzer design optimized for .22 caliber rifles (.224 diameter)
- Thin jacket construction for rapid expansion on varmints
- Ballistic coefficient of .242 for superior long-range performance
- Consistent weight tolerance within ±0.3 grains per bullet
- Boat-tail base reduces drag and improves accuracy
- 100-count bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions
- Compatible with .223 Rem, .22-250, .220 Swift, and similar cartridges
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA groups when loaded with appropriate powders like Varget or H335. The 50-grain weight provides optimal velocity in standard twist rates while delivering flat trajectories out to 300 yards. These bullets excel in prairie dog towns, predator calling setups, and competitive varmint matches where precision and explosive terminal effects are essential.
