Sierra 1520 .243 Caliber 85 Grain Spitzer Varmint Bullets, 100 Count

Sierra Part Number 1520 Varminter bullets are designed for reloaders seeking rapid expansion on larger varmints and small game. This .243 caliber, 6mm projectile features an 85-grain spitzer profile that supports a flat, direct trajectory and reliable performance in suitable cartridges. The design is intended to deliver quick expansion while maintaining enough jacket strength for the high muzzle velocities commonly associated with compatible loads.
The Sierra 1520 uses a thin copper jacket surrounding a lead core, with a lead bullet tip to promote expansion upon impact. Its spitzer shape helps provide efficient aerodynamics, while the flat-base construction offers a practical option for a wide range of varmint and small-game applications. With no cannelure, this bullet is intended for careful handloading according to established load data and applicable reloading practices.
Varminter bullets are developed for the cartridges and velocity ranges for which they are intended. Sierra notes that bullets in this classification may include hollow point, spitzer pointed flat base, and semi-pointed designs. This model is a spitzer bullet intended for .243 caliber applications, with a sectional density of .206. The box contains 100 reloading bullets, making it suitable for varmint-focused load development, practice, and field use. Always verify bullet seating, cartridge compatibility, and published load data before loading or firing.
