Sierra 135-Grain .308 Varminter Hollow Point Bullets
Sierra's 135-grain hollow point varminter delivers explosive expansion and instant kills on larger predators. Thin-jacketed design requires velocities under 3200 FPS. Ideal for 300 Blackout and reduced recoil loads. 500-count box.
Sierra 135-Grain .308 Varminter Hollow Point
Sierra engineered this 135-grain hollow point specifically for varmint and predator hunting where explosive expansion and quick, humane kills matter most.
Design and Performance
Thin-Jacketed Construction — The thin jacket is the key to this bullet's devastating effectiveness. It initiates expansion immediately upon impact, creating the violent wound channel necessary for instant incapacitation of larger varmints and predators.
Velocity Requirements — This is a specialized load. Keep velocities under 3200 FPS to ensure the jacket performs as designed. Exceeding this velocity risks jacket separation and unpredictable performance.
Practical Applications
- 300 Blackout Hunting — The 135-grain weight pairs naturally with 300 Blackout, making this an excellent choice for subsonic and supersonic hunting loads
- Reduced Recoil Loads — Lighter than standard .308 hunting bullets, it allows you to develop accurate, manageable loads in rifles where recoil is a concern
- Predator Control — Purpose-built for coyotes, foxes, and similar game-sized varmints
What's Included
500 bullets per box, ready to load and shoot.
This is a specialized varmint bullet. Understand velocity limitations before loading, and always work up loads carefully.
