Description

Sierra 22cal 55gr Spitzer #1345

In the challenging sport of varminting, Sierra Varminter bullets deliver the necessary performance and consistency. Lightweight designed to expand explosively while reducing ricochets. These lighter bullets are easily pushed to obtain flatter trajectories at very high speeds. Trust the bullets from Sierra Varminter as you expect on your next hunting trip. These bullets can be used ideally in Remington 222 and Remington 223. Recommended for use in barrels with twist 1 in 12" or slower as the bullets may disintegrate with a quick twist barrel in the middle of the air.
