The Sierra 2136 Varminter delivers devastating terminal performance for varmint hunters demanding rapid expansion and maximum tissue damage. These 150-grain hollow point bullets transform .308 Winchester rifles into precision varmint control tools. Sierra's proven GameKing construction ensures consistent accuracy while the hollow point design creates explosive expansion on contact.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Varminter line features a thin jacket wall specifically engineered for rapid fragmentation at varmint hunting velocities. Unlike standard hunting bullets that may over-penetrate small game, the 2136's hollow point cavity initiates immediate expansion even at extended ranges. The boat-tail design maintains velocity better than flat-base alternatives, extending effective range by 50-75 yards compared to conventional varmint bullets.
Key Features
- 150-grain hollow point design for explosive expansion on varmints
- Boat-tail base reduces drag and improves long-range ballistics
- Thin jacket construction optimized for .308 Winchester velocities
- Sierra's precision manufacturing ensures consistent .001" diameter tolerance
- Ballistic coefficient of .408 for superior downrange performance
- Compatible with all .308 Winchester chamber specifications
- 100-count bulk packaging for high-volume varmint control
Field testing shows these bullets maintain sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while delivering complete fragmentation on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes at ranges exceeding 400 yards. The 150-grain weight provides enough sectional density for consistent penetration through heavy fur and bone, while the hollow point ensures minimal pelt damage for fur hunters. Wind deflection remains minimal thanks to the boat-tail configuration, making long shots more predictable in variable conditions.
