Sierra 1720 Pro-Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 120gr Spitzer Bullets 100/Box

The Sierra 1720 Pro-Hunter delivers consistent terminal performance for medium game hunting with its proven spitzer boat-tail design. This 120-grain bullet combines Sierra's precision manufacturing with an optimized weight for 6.5 Creedmoor applications. The tapered jacket construction ensures controlled expansion while maintaining penetration depth on deer-sized game.

What Makes This Different

Sierra's Pro-Hunter line features a tapered jacket that's thicker at the base and thinner at the nose, creating predictable mushrooming upon impact. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets, the Pro-Hunter maintains 60-70% weight retention through controlled expansion. The spitzer boat-tail profile reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range and improving wind deflection resistance.

Key Features

• 120-grain spitzer boat-tail design optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor velocities
• Tapered jacket construction with thick base for controlled expansion
• Ballistic coefficient of .424 for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Recommended velocity range of 2,000-3,000 fps for optimal performance
• Precision swaged lead core for consistent weight distribution
• Gilding metal jacket resists fouling and barrel wear
• 100-count bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates effective expansion at impact velocities down to 1,800 fps, making this bullet suitable for shots out to 400 yards on whitetail deer. The 120-grain weight provides sufficient sectional density (.246) for clean pass-throughs on broadside shots while generating manageable recoil in lightweight hunting rifles. Temperature stability remains consistent across hunting conditions from -20°F to 120°F.
