Description

Sierra 270cal 140gr Spitzer Boat Tail #1845

The heavier spitzer boat tail bullet is ideal for long-range shooting since it has a high ballistic coefficient, a flat trajectory, and outstanding energy retention to go along with its natural accuracy. Additionally, it performs remarkably accurately and is perfectly suited for medium game at further ranges.
