The Sierra 1345 Varminter delivers explosive terminal performance specifically engineered for varmint hunting applications. This 55-grain Spitzer Blitz bullet features Sierra's proven thin-jacket design that ensures rapid expansion and complete fragmentation on impact.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hunting bullets, the Blitz design incorporates an ultra-thin jacket wall that fragments completely upon impact with soft targets. This controlled fragmentation prevents ricochets and over-penetration while maximizing energy transfer. The result is immediate incapacitation of prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar varmints without exit wounds that could damage pelts.
Key Features
- 55-grain Spitzer Blitz design optimized for explosive expansion
- Ultra-thin jacket construction ensures complete fragmentation
- Ballistic coefficient of .243 for flat trajectory performance
- Consistent weight tolerance within ±0.3 grains for accuracy
- Compatible with .223 Remington, .22-250, and similar cartridges
- Lead core bonded to jacket for uniform weight distribution
- Boat-tail base design reduces drag and wind drift
Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy potential with sub-MOA groups achievable in quality rifles. The 55-grain weight provides optimal velocity in standard twist rates while maintaining stability at extended ranges. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic Spitzer profile and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
