Sierra Spitzer Boat Tail Bullets - Precision and Power for the Discerning Marksman
For those who understand the importance of precision in medium- to long-range hunting, Sierra offers its .30 caliber 7.62mm (.308) Spitzer Boat Tail bullets. Weighing in at an optimal 180 grains, these projectiles are engineered to maximize accuracy and performance across a variety of shooting scenarios.
The hallmark feature of these bullets is their renowned Spitzer Boat Tail shape. This design ensures not only a flat trajectory but also superior resistance against crosswinds and vertical winds, maintaining consistent energy delivery upon impact. With a sectional density of .271 and ballistic coefficients reaching as high as .506 between velocities of 2700 fps and 1700 fps, they promise efficient penetration and expansion even when facing reduced long-range impact velocities.
These bullets come packaged with precision in mind—100 rounds per box—to support your needs whether you’re targeting varmints or pursuing large game. The versatility extends through various cartridges with medium to large powder capacities that deliver match-grade accuracy from finely-tuned hunting rifles.
Historically speaking, the prowess of these bullets was showcased when the 180 grain #2160 secured victory at the prestigious Wimbledon Cup over a thousand yards back in 1953—a testament to their exceptional capability on competitive stages.
With modern advancements allowing handguns like Remington's Model XP-100 to chamber larger rifle cartridges effectively, these once "too hard" projectiles have found renewed purpose as accurate tools for discerning hunters seeking reliability at muzzle velocities around 2500 fps achievable by calibers such as the .308 Winchester.
Sierra’s dedication to ease-of-loading coupled with precise concentricity assures shooters they can rely on consistent results each time they pull the trigger. Whether your pursuit is silhouette shooting or engaging targets at significant distances where judicious marksmanship becomes paramount—the Sierra Spitzer Boat Tail stands ready as an ally that delivers both power and precision without compromise.
