Sierra Pro-Hunter Rifle Bullets 22 cal 77gr HPBT 100/ct
$46.74
The Sierra Pro-Hunter 22 caliber 77-grain HPBT rifle bullets deliver reliable, practical performance for reloaders who value accuracy and controlled expansion over extended range. Built with a flat-base design and hollow-point construction, these bullets are engineered for medium-range shooting where dependable penetration and consistent expansion matter most. Whether you're handloading for varmint hunting, target work, or shooting at moderate distances, the Pro-Hunter line offers the durability and velocity tolerance to perform in real-world conditions without the complexity of boat-tail designs.
Sierra's Pro-Hunter bullets are known for tougher construction that resists excessive deformation, making them well-suited to slower cartridges, shorter barrels, and moderate powder charges. That robustness translates to deeper, more uniform penetration on medium-sized game and targets—exactly what you need when shooting close-to-medium range where wind drift and extreme ballistics aren't the limiting factors. The 77-grain weight in 22 caliber strikes a practical balance, offering sufficient sectional density for consistent performance without requiring a premium long-range load development or high-velocity setups.
Each box contains 100 bullets, giving reloaders a standard quantity for load development or sustained practice sessions. If you're comparing options, remember that Sierra's Pro-Hunters prioritize penetration and durability over the expansive ballistics of their GameKing line—a deliberate trade-off that makes them the logical choice for hunters and shooters who operate well within medium range and want ammunition that simply works.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Pro-Hunter and GameKing bullets?
Pro-Hunters are built for tougher, more durable performance at medium range and moderate velocities, with excellent penetration. GameKings are optimized for longer-range ballistics and faster expansion. If you're shooting close-to-medium range and want reliable, deep penetration, Pro-Hunters are the right choice; if wind drift and extreme distance matter, GameKings excel.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
Yes. The Pro-Hunter line is designed for medium-range hunting applications where controlled expansion and penetration are priorities. They perform well on medium-sized game when velocity and range expectations are realistic.
What powder charges and velocities work best with 77-grain Pro-Hunters?
The facts provided do not specify recommended powder charges or velocity ranges. Consult Sierra's published load data or your reloading manual for safe and accurate starting loads specific to your cartridge and barrel length.
Can I use these in a shorter-barreled rifle?
Yes. Pro-Hunters are engineered to perform reliably with moderate velocities, making them well-suited to shorter barrels where velocity loss is common.
