Sierra Sports Master .45 CAL 240GR JHC (x100)

Available On Backorder
SKU
sier-8820

The 240 grain #8820 Jacketed Hollow Cavity SportsMaster bullet was introduced in 1977 in response to requests for a “standard” weight bullet for the 45 Colt cartridge. The skived PowerJacket was added in 1984, making this bullet an excellent choice for 45 Colt vintage or modern handguns. Vintage models usually had a .454 inch diameter bore. However, modern Colt, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Taurus, and most other handguns, including replicas of the Colt Single Action Army, will have barrels with a .451 inch bore. This bullet can be used in vintage 45 Colt handguns, but sizing cases may require special attention in older reloading dies. The 240 grain #8820 bullet has a cannelure for roll crimping, and it may be loaded into 45 Colt cartridges to be used in rifles with tubular magazines. This bullet is very effective for hunting because of the reliable expansion of the hollow cavity PowerJacket design and trademark Sierra accuracy. The reliable expansion characteristics of this bullet make it suitable for cartridges ranging from the 45 ACP up through moderate loads (up to 1400 fps) in the 454 Casull for either hunting or target competition.

  1. Set up your reloading bench where it (and stored components) will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
  2. Establish a comfortable loading procedure and don't vary it.
  3. Keep your reloading bench, equipment and area clean and uncluttered. Label components and reloads for safe, easy identification. Never use powder from an unlabelled tin.
  4. Understand what you are doing and why it must be done in a specific way.
  5. Follow loading recommendations exactly. Don't substitute components for those listed in metallic data without reducing the load and working back up.
  6. Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex because smokeless powder is much more powerful than black powder. Never mix two powders together.
  7. Wear safety glasses.
  8. Stay alert when reloading. Don't reload when distracted, disoriented or tired.
  9. Don't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs while reloading or while in your reloading area.
