Sierra 1310 .224 45-Grain Spitzer Varmint Bullets
Sierra's 1310 Varminter delivers rapid expansion and instant kills on varmints and small game. These 45-grain spitzer bullets feature thin jackets for explosive performance at high velocities, with a ballistic coefficient of .210 at 3000+ fps. Box of 100.
Sierra 1310 Varmint Bullets: Purpose-Built for Precision and Performance
The Sierra 1310 represents the pinnacle of varmint bullet design—a purpose-built projectile engineered for hunters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance on larger varmints and small game.
Design and Construction
These 45-grain spitzer bullets feature precisely drawn jackets that ensure pinpoint accuracy while maintaining the thin-jacket construction necessary for rapid, reliable expansion. The flat-base spitzer point shape has long been the choice of accomplished varmint hunters who understand that consistency matters.
Performance Characteristics
- Caliber: .22 (.224 diameter)
- Weight: 45 grains
- Ballistic Coefficient: .210 @ 3000+ fps; .196 between 3000-1800 fps; .181 @ 1800 fps and below
- Sectional Density: 0.128
- Quantity: 100 per box
Velocity Considerations
These bullets are ideally suited for high-velocity cartridges like the .22-250 and .220 Swift, where they deliver explosive expansion and instant kills. They are fully capable of producing quarter-minute-of-angle accuracy at velocities that would destroy lesser bullets.
At .222 or .223 Remington velocities, the 1310 performs reliably but runs slightly "hard" for maximum expansion. For rifles generating velocities above 3000 fps, these bullets excel. Handgun use is limited to target applications due to their construction.
The Bottom Line
If you're serious about varmint hunting and demand both accuracy and terminal performance, Sierra's 1310 delivers on both fronts.
