SIERRA PRO-HUNTER 30CAL (100)

These rifle bullets were designed specifically for proper feeding in the 30 M1 Carbine. The 110 grain Roundnose #2100 is a soft point expanding bullet that expands reliably at carbine velocities. This bullet can be used in all 30 caliber cartridges (at reduced velocities) for small game.

In handguns of 30 caliber, these bullets are best suited for informal target shooting or varmints at close range.

The 150 grain #2130 has the Sierra’s unique double-tapered hunting jacket that has been field proven under all conceivable conditions. The 150 grain #2130 bullet is best suited to medium game. This bullet is extremely accurate, providing an undeniable edge in the game fields. Reliable expansion and deep penetration blended with Sierra’s classic Spitzer flatbase profile makes these the bullets of choice with many 30 caliber riflemen.

For handguns, Sierra’s Pro-Hunter design is generally considered too “hard” for all but the most powerful of the 30 caliber handgun cartridges. Handguns chambered for the 308 Winchester cartridge or cartridges of similar size can use these bullets over maximum hunting loads at short range. Due to their flat base design, Pro-Hunter bullets are an excellent choice for a cartridge with limited powder capacity and a short neck, because these bullets intrude into the powder space less than a boat tail.

.30 CALIBER 170 GR. FN (30-30)

In rifles, this bullet was designed for the venerable 30-30 Winchester cartridge, and features a jacket tailored specifically to 30-30 velocities. The cannelure on each bullet is precisely located to provide the proper over-all-length (OAL) for fast, trouble-free feeding. The bullet weight performs admirably on deer-sized game and is suited to larger deer and black bear at shorter ranges. PowerJacket construction assures reliable expansion with good penetration. Though designed for the 30-30 cartridge, the use of these bullets is not restricted to that cartridge. In fact, these bullets are very effective in any 30 caliber cartridge if a muzzle velocity level of 2500 to 2600 fps is not exceeded.

In handguns, these bullets are suitable for some cartridges because they were designed for the velocities of the venerable 30-30 Winchester cartridge. Specifically, these bullets are suitable for any handgun cartridge that will produce 2200 to 2500 fps at the muzzle. They are suitable for all game, from varmints to large game, such as elk, if the bullet weight is matched to game weight. These are short-range bullets due to their nose design and will be suitable only when maximum ranges do not exceed 125 to 150 yards. Sierra’s unique Power Jacket design assures uniform bullet upset and expansion at this velocity level with traditional Sierra accuracy.

The #2010 was introduced in 1959.
