The Sierra 8320 Sports Master delivers reliable expansion and consistent accuracy for 38 caliber handgun applications. These 125-grain jacketed hollow point bullets feature Sierra's proven jacket design that ensures controlled expansion while maintaining structural integrity through various barrier materials.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Sports Master line bridges the gap between target and hunting bullets with a thicker jacket construction than standard hollow points. The controlled expansion design maintains 85-90% weight retention while creating effective wound channels. Unlike thin-jacketed varmint bullets, these maintain structural integrity when encountering clothing or light barriers.
Key Features
- 125-grain jacketed hollow point construction for reliable expansion
- Thick copper jacket prevents fragmentation on impact
- Optimized for velocities between 900-1200 fps
- Consistent bullet-to-bullet weight variance under 0.5 grains
- Compatible with 38 Special and 357 Magnum cases
- Precision swaged lead core for balanced weight distribution
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
These bullets perform effectively in both revolver and semi-automatic platforms chambered in 38 Special. The 125-grain weight provides moderate recoil while delivering sufficient energy for personal defense applications. Law enforcement agencies have documented reliable performance through heavy clothing and automotive glass when loaded to appropriate velocities.
