The Sierra 1610 Varmint bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and explosive expansion for small game and pest control applications. These precision-manufactured .25 caliber projectiles feature Sierra's proven spitzer boat tail design that maintains velocity and reduces wind drift at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Varminter series incorporates a thin jacket construction specifically engineered for rapid fragmentation upon impact. The 87-grain weight provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and terminal performance in .25 caliber rifles. Unlike standard hunting bullets, these projectiles fragment completely to minimize ricochets and over-penetration in varmint hunting scenarios.
Key Features
- 87-grain spitzer boat tail design for superior ballistic coefficient
- Thin jacket construction ensures rapid expansion and fragmentation
- Precision-drawn gilding metal jacket for consistent accuracy
- Lead core optimized for .25 caliber velocity ranges
- Boat tail base reduces drag and extends effective range
- Match-grade manufacturing tolerances for consistent performance
- 100-count bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles when paired with appropriate powder charges. The 87-grain weight performs exceptionally well in standard .25-06 Remington and .257 Weatherby Magnum chamberings. These bullets maintain structural integrity during high-velocity launches while fragmenting reliably on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized game at ranges exceeding 300 yards.
