Sierra Pro-Hunter 7mm 140 Grain Spitzer Bullets - 284 Caliber, Box of 100

The Sierra Pro-Hunter 7mm 140 grain spitzer bullets are a time-tested handloading choice for hunters running any 7mm cartridge—from the 7mm-08 to magnum rounds. Built with Sierra's proven heavy double-tapered hunting jacket, these .284 caliber projectiles deliver the balanced performance that's made them a reloader's staple: reliable expansion and penetration on medium game, good ballistic shape, and the inherent accuracy Sierra's known for. Whether you're working up loads for a bolt-action rifle or considering them for handgun applications in larger caliber platforms, you get 100 bullets per box ready to load.

These bullets excel across a range of use cases. Hunters typically see them as an excellent all-around option effective to 450 yards on game, while the pinpoint accuracy and traditional Sierra quality make them equally at home on the target range or in competition loads. The robust jacket design means consistent performance across different powder charges and velocities—a real advantage when you're fine-tuning handloads for your specific rifle.

One thing to keep in mind: in smaller handgun cartridges like Thompson-Contender sizes, the 140-grain spitzer may run harder than ideal. However, if you're loading for larger-bore handguns in 7mm—such as a Remington XP-100 in 7mm-08—they can work well for big game at moderate distances. For most rifle shooters, though, these are a straightforward, effective bullet choice that doesn't require overthinking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 7mm cartridges will these bullets work in?

Sierra Pro-Hunter 140-grain spitzers are recommended for all standard 7mm rifle cartridges, including the 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Magnum, and other popular 7mm rounds. They're designed as a general-purpose hunting bullet for the full range of 7mm rifle platforms.

What's the effective range for these bullets on game?

Sierra suggests these 140-grain bullets for hunting ranges out to 450 yards on medium game. The spitzer profile and double-tapered jacket provide the expansion and penetration needed for reliable performance across that distance.

Can I use these in a handgun?

While these bullets may be too hard for smaller Thompson-Contender-size handgun cartridges, they can work in larger 7mm handgun platforms—such as a Remington XP-100 in 7mm-08—particularly for big game at closer ranges. For most handgun applications, however, they're better suited to rifle use.

Are these bullets good for target shooting and competition?

Yes. Sierra's traditional accuracy and the spitzer's ballistic shape make these bullets a solid choice for target work and reloading for competition. Shooters appreciate their consistency and the inherent precision Sierra bullets are known for.
