Sierra Varminter .264 100-Grain Hollow Point Bullets
The Sierra 1710 represents the company's proven approach to varmint hunting ammunition. These .264 caliber, 100-grain hollow point bullets are engineered for one purpose: fast, reliable expansion on varmints and small game.
Design and Performance
Varminter bullets feature thin jackets that enhance expansion while maintaining sufficient structural integrity for the highest safe velocities in their intended cartridges. This balance allows shooters to achieve the velocity needed for instant, humane kills without jacket separation or erratic performance.

Versatility Across Platforms
While optimized for the .264 Winchester Magnum, these bullets perform excellently in all 6.5mm cartridges. Shooters consistently achieve quarter-minute-of-angle accuracy even from magnum-velocity platforms. The 1710 also works well in smaller-capacity 6.5mm cartridges and TCU-size handgun cartridges for varmint and target applications.
Game Suitability
The 100-grain weight makes these bullets suitable for varmints, small game, and medium-sized game. However, they are too light for full-size game applications or silhouette competition.
