Sierra Pro-Hunter 6.5mm 120gr Spitzer Bullets #1720

Sierra Pro-Hunter 6.5mm 120-Grain Spitzer Bullets

The Sierra Pro-Hunter #1720 represents a time-tested approach to medium-game hunting. These 120-grain Spitzer bullets feature a traditional flat-base design engineered for a balance between penetration and controlled expansion.

Performance Characteristics

Ballistic Performance:

• Sectional Density: .246
• Ballistic Coefficient: .356 (2800+ fps), .368 (2200–2800 fps), .386 (1800–2200 fps), .400 (below 1800 fps)
• Spitzer profile ensures excellent downrange accuracy and velocity retention

Ideal Applications

These bullets excel in medium-capacity 6.5mm cartridges—particularly those with powder capacity equal to or greater than the .223 Remington. They perform exceptionally well in:

• 6.5x284 Norma — reliable performance at extended ranges
• 6.5 Creedmoor — excellent all-around choice for hunting and target work
• 264 Winchester Magnum — superior downrange ballistics on medium game

Important Considerations

The 120-grain Pro-Hunter is designed for medium-range hunting applications. At close range, bullet construction may result in over-penetration rather than optimal expansion. Conversely, at extended ranges beyond 300 yards, velocity may drop below optimal expansion thresholds on some game.

Load to maximum safe velocities in your specific cartridge for best results. These bullets also perform admirably in target applications, delivering the accuracy needed for full-size handgun silhouette competition.
