The Sierra 1370 Varminter delivers exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for small game and varmint hunting. These precision-manufactured bullets feature Sierra's proven semi-pointed design that balances ballistic coefficient with reliable expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Varminter line utilizes a thinner jacket construction compared to their MatchKing bullets, promoting rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity during flight. The 63-grain weight provides optimal stability in standard 1:14 twist barrels while delivering higher retained velocity than lighter projectiles. This semi-pointed profile achieves superior ballistic performance over flat-base designs without the feeding issues sometimes associated with boat-tail configurations.
Key Features
- 63-grain semi-pointed design optimized for varmint hunting applications
- Thin jacket construction ensures rapid expansion on small game
- Precision swaged lead core for consistent weight distribution
- Compatible with standard 1:14 and faster twist rate barrels
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately .230 for flat trajectory
- Uniform jacket thickness maintains accuracy potential
- 100-count packaging reduces cost per round for high-volume shooting
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The 63-grain weight strikes an ideal balance for prairie dog hunting, where wind deflection matters but excessive bullet weight reduces velocity. These bullets perform effectively at ranges extending to 300 yards while maintaining sufficient energy for clean kills on coyotes and similar-sized game.
