The Sierra 2800 Pro-Hunter delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its proven 200-grain round nose design. This .35 caliber bullet combines traditional construction with modern manufacturing precision to ensure reliable expansion and deep penetration across hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Pro-Hunter line features a jacketed soft point construction with a tapered jacket that controls expansion while maintaining weight retention. The round nose profile provides excellent feeding reliability in lever-action rifles and reduces deflection when shooting through brush. Manufacturing tolerances held to ±0.003 inches ensure consistent ballistic performance shot after shot.

Field performance shows reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 2,400 fps, making these bullets suitable for both close-range brush hunting and longer shots in open country. The 200-grain weight provides sufficient sectional density for deep penetration on deer, elk, and black bear. Accuracy typically runs 2-3 MOA in factory rifles with proper load development.
