Sierra 8360 Sports Master 38 Cal 158gr JHC Bullets 100/Box

The Sierra 8360 Sports Master delivers consistent expansion and reliable performance for 38 caliber handgun applications. This 158-grain jacketed hollow cavity design provides controlled expansion while maintaining structural integrity through barriers and varying velocities.

What Makes This Different

Sierra's Sports Master line features a unique hollow cavity design that initiates expansion more reliably than traditional hollow points. The thick jacket construction prevents premature fragmentation while the engineered cavity geometry ensures consistent mushrooming across velocity ranges from 800 to 1200 fps. This balance of expansion and penetration makes it suitable for both target work and defensive applications.

Key Features

• 158-grain weight provides optimal momentum and penetration in 38 Special and 357 Magnum
• Jacketed hollow cavity construction with controlled expansion characteristics
• Uniform copper jacket thickness for consistent ballistic performance
• Lead core bonding prevents jacket separation during expansion
• Boat tail base design improves accuracy and reduces drag
• Compatible with standard 38 caliber/.357 diameter firearms
• Bulk packaging in 100-count boxes for cost-effective practice and loading

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities typical of 38 Special +P and 357 Magnum loads. The bullet maintains structural integrity through common barriers including heavy clothing and wallboard while achieving 1.5x diameter expansion in ballistic gelatin. Accuracy testing shows sub-2 MOA groups at 25 yards when loaded to proper specifications, making it suitable for both precision target shooting and defensive applications.
