Sierra 135-Grain .308 Varminter Hollow Point
Sierra engineered this 135-grain hollow point specifically for varmint and predator hunting where explosive expansion and instant kills matter most. The thin-jacketed design ensures rapid, devastating performance on larger varmints when velocity parameters are respected.
Key Specifications
- Caliber: .30 caliber / 7.62mm (.308")
- Weight: 135 grains
- Bullet Type: Jacketed Hollow Point (Varminter)
- Quantity: 100 per box
- Sectional Density: .203
Ballistic Performance
- 0.308 BC at 2350 fps and above
- 0.290 BC between 2350 fps and 1900 fps
- 0.275 BC at 1900 fps and below
Important Velocity Consideration
This bullet is designed to function optimally at velocities under 3200 fps. Exceeding this threshold risks over-expansion and potential jacket separation. Handloaders should carefully develop loads within safe velocity parameters.
Ideal Applications
The 135-grain Varminter excels in 300 Blackout rifles and reduced recoil loads where its light weight and thin jacket deliver the expansion characteristics hunters demand. It's an excellent choice for those seeking reliable varmint performance without excessive recoil.
