Sierra Sig Sauer V-Crown Jacketed Hollow Point Bullets - Premium Self-Defense Ammunition
SIERRA BULLETS
The Sierra Sig Sauer V-Crown jacketed hollow point is a purpose-built defensive handgun bullet engineered through a partnership between two names synonymous with precision and reliability. If you're reloading for personal protection, this 124-grain .355-diameter projectile combines Sierra's legendary accuracy standards with a terminal performance design that prioritizes both expansion and weight retention across real-world shooting distances.
The V-Crown features a distinctive stacked hollow point cavity that promotes controlled expansion while a cannelure (on select offerings) locks the jacket to the core—a construction detail that keeps the bullet intact and heavy when it matters most. That geometry and metallurgy means you get consistent performance whether your defensive load is pushed hard or held to moderate velocities. The sectional density of .141 delivers the penetration profile serious shooters expect from a duty round.
Reloaders who demand consistency appreciate Sierra's quality control and the ballistic data backing each caliber. The V-Crown's ballistic coefficient varies with velocity—.120 at 1250 fps and above, stepping to .160 between 1250 and 1000 fps, and .170 below 1000 fps—so your load development benefits from predictable behavior across the speed range you'll actually shoot. Whether you're fine-tuning a carry load or preparing defensive ammunition for training and duty, this bullet gives you a proven platform to build on.

Sierra offers the V-Crown in several caliber and weight combinations, each optimized for its intended use. The 124-grain .355-diameter version is suited for 9mm Luger handgun loads.
The cannelure that locks the jacket to the core appears on select SKUs (#9924, #9925, #9465, and #9820). Check your specific bullet lot to confirm this feature.
The V-Crown is engineered to perform across the full spectrum of defensive handgun velocities. Its varying ballistic coefficients—.120 at 1250+ fps, .160 between 1250 and 1000 fps, and .170 below 1000 fps—reflect its consistent behavior from typical carry loads through practice velocities.
Yes, this is a component bullet for handloaders. The cannelure and jacket-to-core lock design provide the consistency and retention you need when preparing precise defensive ammunition.
