Description

Sierra 22cal 45gr Spitzer #1310

This bullet can produce 1/4 minute of angle accuracy in rifles at speeds that would kill the majority of conventional bullets. The Spitzer point-shaped bullet has a flat base. Many skilled varmint hunters choose this type of bullet. It has carefully crafted jackets that guarantee pin-point precision and dependable expansion even at the greatest ranges.

While capable of producing traditional Sierra precision in handguns, this bullet must be regarded as being too "hard" for anything other than target purposes at pistol velocities. The 45 grain and 50 grain bullets could be utilized for varmint hunting out to moderate ranges if your pistol can produce velocities greater than 3000 fps at the muzzle, but they won't have explosive expansion.
