Sierra 30cal 220gr Prohunter RN #2180
These bullets are highly recommended for use in rifle cartridges when deep penetration and good expansion in medium and heavy game are needed at close to medium ranges. These bullets' short lengths for their weights enable them to fire with pin-point accuracy. Due to its short length for a given weight, a rifle barrel can stable a roundnose bullet that is much heavier than it could with a Spitzer-pointed bullet, which would be much longer. These are the bullets to choose if the shots need to be made quickly and at close ranges or if the game is large and hazardous. The genuine heavyweight is the 220 grain #2180, which is suitable for several African species as well as the largest game in North America.
These bullets should be regarded as nonexpanding in handguns when used on game at typical pistol velocities. When a heavy bullet is required but the twist rate is only slightly sluggish, as in handgun silhouettes, where momentum rather than expansion matters more, they might be helpful. These bullets' shorter lengths for a given weight may offer better stability and accuracy in various handguns than longer Spitzer-shaped rounds of the same weight.
The #2180 was introduced in 1961.
