The Sierra 1520 Varminter delivers exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for varmint hunters demanding precision shots at extended ranges. These 85-grain spitzer bullets feature Sierra's renowned manufacturing consistency that produces tight groups shot after shot. Built specifically for high-velocity varmint cartridges, these bullets excel in applications requiring flat trajectory and explosive expansion on small game.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Varminter line incorporates a thin jacket design optimized for rapid expansion at varmint hunting velocities. Unlike standard hunting bullets that may over-penetrate small targets, the 1520's construction ensures maximum energy transfer and immediate incapacitation. The spitzer profile maintains velocity downrange better than flat-base designs, extending effective range by 50-75 yards compared to conventional varmint bullets.
Key Features
- 85-grain spitzer bullet optimized for 6mm/.243 caliber rifles
- Thin jacket construction promotes rapid expansion on varmints
- Boat tail base design reduces drag for flatter trajectory
- Sierra's match-grade manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent accuracy
- Pointed spitzer nose maximizes ballistic coefficient
- Bulk packaging of 100 bullets provides excellent value for volume shooters
- Compatible with popular 6mm cartridges including .243 Winchester and 6mm Remington
Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while delivering explosive terminal performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes. The 85-grain weight provides optimal balance between velocity and wind resistance for shots extending beyond 300 yards. Weather-resistant packaging protects bullets during storage and transport to hunting locations.
