The Sierra Pro-Hunter .308 220gr Bullet is designed for short to medium-range hunting, where deep penetration and reliable expansion are crucial. With its heavy round-nose profile, this bullet stabilizes exceptionally well and delivers pinpoint accuracy, even in barrels with slower twist rates. The shorter overall length for its weight allows hunters to use a heavier bullet without compromising stability—something not possible with a spitzer-style bullet of the same weight.

Ideal for big game hunting, the 220-grain Pro-Hunter (#2180) is built to take on North America's largest species, as well as select African game. Whether you're hunting in thick brush or need stopping power for close-range encounters, this bullet delivers superior energy transfer and maximum impact.

For handgun applications, the Pro-Hunter .308 220gr is considered non-expanding at normal handgun velocities, making it a solid option where momentum outweighs expansion, such as in Handgun Silhouette competitions or when using a marginally slow twist rate.

Introduced in 1961, the Sierra Pro-Hunter 220gr (#2180) remains a proven choice for hunters looking for reliable performance and precision.
