The Sierra 8820 Sports Master delivers consistent accuracy and reliable expansion for .45 caliber handgun applications. These jacketed hollow cavity bullets feature Sierra's precision manufacturing standards that competitive shooters and hunters have trusted for decades. Each bullet maintains uniform weight distribution and concentricity for predictable ballistic performance.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's jacketed hollow cavity design combines controlled expansion with deep penetration characteristics. The hollow cavity creates reliable mushrooming upon impact while the copper jacket maintains structural integrity during feeding and firing. Unlike standard full metal jacket rounds, these bullets transfer maximum energy to the target through controlled deformation.
Key Features
- 240-grain weight optimized for .45 ACP and .45 Auto Rim applications
- Jacketed hollow cavity construction for controlled expansion
- Precision swaged copper jacket ensures consistent wall thickness
- Match-grade lead core provides uniform weight distribution
- Boat-tail base design reduces drag and improves accuracy
- Compatible with standard .45 caliber handgun barrels
- 100 bullets per box for extended range sessions
These bullets perform consistently across temperature ranges and deliver predictable terminal ballistics. Competition shooters appreciate the accuracy potential at 25 and 50-yard distances, while the hollow cavity design makes them suitable for personal defense applications. The 240-grain weight provides substantial momentum and energy transfer in .45 caliber platforms.
