The Sierra 8620 Sports Master delivers exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion for .44 caliber handgun applications. This 210-grain jacketed hollow cavity bullet combines Sierra's renowned manufacturing precision with a design optimized for both target shooting and hunting performance.
What Makes This Different
The Sports Master features Sierra's proprietary jacket design that ensures consistent wall thickness and concentricity tolerances within 0.0003 inches. Unlike standard plated bullets, the copper jacket extends from the base to just below the hollow cavity, providing superior weight retention and controlled expansion. The hollow cavity design creates a flat-nose profile that enhances accuracy while maintaining feeding reliability in semi-automatic platforms.
