Sierra Spitzer Blitz .22 Caliber High Velocity Ammunition
For those who appreciate precision and performance, the Sierra Spitzer Blitz offers a unique blend of high velocity and terminal impact. Chambered in .22 caliber with a 50-grain bullet weight, this ammunition is meticulously crafted for varmint hunting enthusiasts.
The Spitzer Blitz boasts an advanced spitzer point design that ensures superior downrange performance. Its ballistic coefficients are noteworthy: .222 at velocities above 2800 fps, tapering to .207 below 1800 fps. Such specifications guarantee not only flat trajectories but also enhanced energy retention across various distances.
This round is particularly suited for rifles chambered in popular cartridges like the .222 Remington or the .223 Remington. Designed for use with conventional twist rate barrels (1x12" or 1x14"), it achieves maximum accuracy without risking mid-air disintegration—a risk posed by fast twist rates.
The thin-jacketed construction of these bullets promotes rapid expansion upon impact, making them ideal for medium-to-large capacity centerfire handguns as well as rifles used in varmint applications. The result is reliable expansion characteristics paired with traditional Sierra match-grade accuracy.
Introduced in 1978, the #1340 remains a favored choice among seasoned hunters worldwide due to its explosive power on small game combined with low sensitivity to wind conditions—factors that contribute significantly to successful hunting expeditions.
