Description
The Sierra Sports Master line is one of Sierra’s most enduring handgun-hunting designs, and the 8610 exemplifies why handloaders have trusted this profile for decades. Built around a .4295-inch bullet diameter and a hefty 240 grain Jacketed Hollow Cavity projectile, this bullet was originally developed for the .44 Remington Magnum revolver and delivers true magnum-class penetration while still expanding reliably at lower .44 Special velocities.
Each Sports Master bullet carries a heavy copper jacket over a lead core fortified with 1-1/2% antimony for consistent weight retention and improved driving resistance through heavy game. A factory cannelure provides a positive crimp seat for handloaders, and the bullet’s .186 sectional density confirms its serious-magnum credentials.
These Sierra .44 caliber handgun bullets are designed for the hunter requiring accuracy, penetration, and dependable expansion from a .44 Remington Magnum revolver, and they will expand reliably at sub-magnum .44 Special handloads as well, giving handloaders one bullet profile that bridges both cartridges. The Sports Master 240 grain JHC remains a proven choice for revolver handloaders.
This box contains 100 individual projectiles, ready for your favorite magnum jacketed load data. Bullet components only – not loaded ammunition.
