Sierra 7mm 140gr Spitzer #1910
The Sierra hunting jacket on the 140-grain #1910 Spitzer bullet is heavy and double-tapered. It has excellent penetration and expansion on medium game and is recommended for all 7mm cartridges. It is recommended for ranges of up to 450 yards and is a great all-around hunting bullet.
The 140 grain #1910 bullet is generally considered too "hard" for TCU size cartridges in handguns, but it could be a good choice for large game, such as elk, when used at short ranges in a Remington XP-100 handgun in 7mm-08 Remington or a similar handgun and cartridge. This bullet is an excellent choice for all targets work due to its good ballistic shape and traditional Sierra accuracy. This bullet's pinpoint accuracy makes it a good choice for both varmints and target competition.

FAQs
Q: Is this bullet suitable for long-range shooting?
It can be used at moderate ranges, but it is not a dedicated long-range match bullet like HPBT designs.

Yes, with proper shot placement, but heavier bullets (150–175gr) are generally preferred for larger animals.
Q: How does it compare to a boat-tail bullet?
Flat-base spitzer bullets like this often provide excellent accuracy at shorter ranges, while boat-tail bullets perform better at extended distances.

Yes. It’s a versatile, widely supported bullet with extensive load data across many 7mm cartridges.
