Sierra 1330 Varminter .224 50gr Spitzer Bullets

Sierra 1330 Varminter Bullets: Purpose-Built for Varmint Hunting

The Sierra 1330 represents a refined approach to varmint bullet design. These .224 caliber, 50-grain projectiles are engineered specifically for rapid expansion and clean kills on larger varmints and small game.

Design and Construction

Thin Jacket Technology: The defining feature of the Varminter line is its thin jacket construction. This design promotes rapid, reliable expansion while maintaining sufficient structural integrity for the highest safe velocities in modern varmint cartridges.

Spitzer Point Profile: The classic spitzer pointed shape with flat base provides excellent ballistic performance and aerodynamic efficiency downrange.

Performance Characteristics

These bullets excel in the velocity sweet spot of 2800 to 3500 fps. They are particularly well-suited for:

• .22-250 Remington: The ideal platform for this bullet's design
• .220 Swift: Delivers consistent, explosive expansion
• .222 and .223 Remington: Capable performers, though slightly hard at these lower velocities

Accuracy and Reliability

Sierra's precisely drawn jackets ensure quarter-minute-of-angle accuracy potential. This level of precision, combined with reliable expansion characteristics, makes the 1330 a favorite among accomplished varmint hunters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance.

Specifications

• Caliber: .224
• Weight: 50 grains
• Bullet Type: Spitzer, flat base
• Quantity: 100 per box
• Sectional Density: .142

Important Notes

These bullets are not recommended for handgun use except in target applications. While capable of traditional Sierra accuracy, they are too hard at typical handgun velocities for reliable expansion on game.
