In the realm of precision shooting and varmint hunting, Sierra has long been a name synonymous with accuracy and reliability. Their 6mm .243 caliber ammunition exemplifies this legacy, offering shooters an exceptional choice for dispatching small game with efficiency and precision.
This particular round features an 80-grain Spitzer Boat Tail Blitz bullet, designed meticulously to deliver both high velocity and consistent performance. The engineering behind its deadly hollow point construction ensures positive expansion upon impact, making it particularly effective even at extended ranges—a crucial factor when engaging elusive varmints.
The sectional density of .194 contributes to its penetration capabilities, while the ballistic coefficients provide insight into its aerodynamic efficiency: boasting a coefficient of .319 at speeds above 2800 feet per second (fps), reducing slightly to .310 between velocities of 2800 fps and 2200 fps, and maintaining respectable stability at lower velocities down to .295 below 2200 fps.
Suitable for use in various rifles chambered in similar calibers as well as specific handguns like the 6mm TCU or PPC models, these bullets are versatile across platforms. Since their introduction in 1956 under model #1510, they have maintained a reputation for delivering superior accuracy—particularly within short to medium range engagements where pinpoint precision is paramount.
Packaged conveniently with one hundred rounds per box, Sierra's Varminter line provides not just ammunition but confidence; every shot fired assures you are equipped with decades of expertise honed into each projectile.
