The Sierra 8805 Sports Master delivers consistent terminal performance with its precision-engineered 230-grain jacketed hollow point design. This ammunition component provides reliable expansion and accuracy for competitive shooting and personal defense applications.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Sports Master line features controlled expansion technology that maintains bullet integrity while delivering predictable terminal ballistics. The jacketed hollow point construction balances penetration depth with expansion diameter, outperforming standard full metal jacket rounds in stopping power. Manufacturing tolerances held to ±0.5 grains ensure consistent velocities and point of impact.
Key Features
- 230-grain jacketed hollow point optimized for 45 ACP velocities
- Precision-swaged lead core with uniform jacket thickness
- Controlled expansion cavity designed for 12-18 inch penetration
- Match-grade accuracy with consistent 1.5-2.0 MOA performance
- Compatible with standard 45 ACP chambers and feeding systems
- 100-count bulk packaging for competitive shooters
- Copper-plated jacket reduces barrel fouling
Field testing demonstrates reliable feeding in 1911-pattern pistols, striker-fired platforms, and competition guns. The hollow point cavity opens consistently at velocities between 800-950 fps, making it suitable for both full-size and compact 45 ACP firearms. Weather-resistant packaging maintains bullet integrity during storage and transport.
