Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 150gr HP

The Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 150gr HP is Sierra’s newest addition to the 30‑caliber Varminter lineup—a high-velocity hollow-point component bullet engineered to perform across the full spectrum of .30-caliber cartridges, including magnums. Featuring a .308‑inch diameter and 150‑grain weight, this bullet offers explosive expansion on varmints and small game at velocities attainable from standard and magnum platforms, making it an ideal choice for off-season practice and varmint control in any 30-caliber rifle.

Built with a precision hollow-point cavity and sturdy copper-alloy jacket, the 150gr HP withstands exceptionally high pressures and velocities while delivering reliable terminal performance. In cartridges ranging from .308 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum, it produces wide wound channels with minimal fragmentation—ensuring effective energy transfer and clean, ethical takedowns.

Manufactured to Sierra’s exacting component standards—150.0 grains weight, 0.308″ diameter, and a sectional density near 0.276—the bullet features consistent jacket wall thickness, concentric core alignment, and tight tolerances. This construction ensures repeatable sub‑MOA accuracy, stable chamber pressures, and dependable feeding in bolt-action, semi-auto, and even single-shot platforms.

Optimized for barrels with twist rates of 1:10 or faster, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 150gr HP performs best at velocities between 2,800 and 3,300 fps. This broad performance envelope makes it versatile for use in .30-06 Springfield, .300 Win Mag, and many other 30-caliber cartridges—providing flat trajectory and explosive varmint impact from short practice loads to full-power hunting rounds.

As a component bullet, the Sierra 7.62mm 30 Cal 150gr HP allows reloaders full control over powder selection, primer choice, and seating depth—supporting the development of custom load recipes for trajectory, recoil management, and terminal impact. It is not factory-loaded ammunition, but a purpose-built hollow-point Varminter bullet tailored for consistent performance and explosive expansion in any 30-caliber rifle.
