The 8mm Spitzer bullet, weighing in at a substantial 175 grains, represents the pinnacle of precision and power for those who demand excellence from their ammunition. This offering comes neatly packaged with 100 rounds per box, ensuring you have ample supply for your hunting or shooting endeavors.
Designed to be compatible with all modern 8mm rifles—particularly German military arms produced since 1905—this .323 inch diameter projectile is engineered to serve both the seasoned hunter and the dedicated marksman. It's imperative to acknowledge that earlier German military rifles (manufactured between 1888 and 1905) utilized a smaller .318 inch diameter bullet. While many were rebarreled post-1905 to accommodate the larger bore size, some historical pieces remain unchanged from World War I and II eras. Thus, confirming your rifle's bore size before loading these bullets is crucial; slugging your barrel will prevent dangerously high chamber pressures if it's indeed of the smaller variety.
Sierra offers two Pro-Hunter bullets in this caliber range, each embodying superb craftsmanship synonymous with accuracy and reliability. The featured #2410 model excels as an exceptional big game bullet within its class—the perfect match for enthusiasts wielding either standard 8x57mm or more robust magnum cartridges.
This Spitzer-style projectile boasts a sectional density of .240—a testament to its adeptness in penetrating medium to heavier game effectively while maintaining consistent expansion upon impact. Ballistic coefficients vary slightly by velocity: achieving optimal performance at .381 when moving above velocities of 2150 fps; tapering modestly through ranges down towards .371 below speeds of 1750 fps.
In conclusion, whether on safari or standing sentry over local hunting grounds, Sierra’s commitment shines through every cartridge they produce—ensuring dependability shot after shot without compromise on quality or safety standards expected by discerning shooters worldwide.
