Description

Sierra 22cal 55gr Spitzer #1360

This bullet can produce 1/4 minute of angle accuracy in rifles at speeds that would kill the majority of conventional bullets. Each bullet has a flat base and a Spitzer point form. Many skilled varmint hunters choose to use these rounds. All have carefully crafted jackets that guarantee pin-point precision and steady expansion even at the furthest ranges. This bullet is a little "hard" at 222 or 223 Remington velocity, but it works particularly well at 220 Swift and 22-250 velocities.
