Sierra Rifle Projectiles 1395 .22 Cal 65gr Spitzer Boat Tail

The Sierra Rifle Projectiles 1395 .22 Cal 65gr Spitzer Boat Tail are quality hunting projectiles designed for handloaders wanting a heavier .224 diameter bullet with improved downrange performance.

Sierra lists projectile number 1395 as a .224 diameter, 65 grain, Spitzer Boat Tail bullet with a listed sectional density of .185. The boat tail design helps improve ballistic efficiency, retain velocity and reduce wind drift compared with similar flat-base projectile designs.

The 65 grain weight is a useful heavier option for .22 calibre centrefire cartridges such as 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington and other compatible .224 calibre rifles when matched with suitable barrel twist and published load data.

Sierra lists the projectile with a G1 ballistic coefficient of .303 at 2750 fps and above. Sierra’s .223 Remington load data lists the 65gr SBT with a 2.240" COAL and notes it requires a 1x10" or faster twist.

Please note: These are projectiles only. They are not loaded ammunition. Cases, primers and powder are not included. Always follow trusted published load data and safe handloading practices.
