Sierra Rifle Projectiles 2170 .30 Cal 180gr Round Nose

The Sierra Rifle Projectiles 2170 .30 Cal 180gr Round Nose are quality hunting projectiles designed for handloaders wanting a traditional heavy .308 diameter round nose bullet for short to medium range field use.

Sierra lists projectile number 2170 as a .308 diameter, 180 grain, Round Nose bullet with a listed sectional density of .271. The round nose profile is a classic hunting bullet shape, well suited to close-range timber hunting and general hunting loads where fast handling and practical terminal performance are preferred over long-range aerodynamics.

The 180 grain weight is a popular heavy .30 calibre option for cartridges such as 308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield and other compatible .30 calibre rifles when matched with suitable published load data.

Sierra lists the projectile with G1 ballistic coefficients of .240 at 2800 fps and above, .280 between 2200 and 2800 fps, .330 between 1500 and 2200 fps, and .355 at 1500 fps and below. Sierra’s .30-06 Springfield load data lists the 180gr RN with a 3.200" COAL.

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.
