The 125 grain #2120 has a medium-weight tapered jacket. It is very destructive at high velocity and is an excellent long-range varmint bullet. When loaded to medium velocity it is an excellent low-recoil hunting bullet suited to medium game. The #2120 bullet is especially well suited to Hunter Benchrest where it has become very popular. Reliable expansion and deep penetration blended with Sierra’s classic Spitzer flatbase profile makes these the bullets of choice with many 30 caliber riflemen.
For handguns Sierra’s Pro-Hunter design is generally considered too “hard” for all but the most powerful of the 30 caliber handgun cartridges. The #2120 can be used for medium game at 30-30 level velocities when loaded at or near maximum levels. This is an excellent target bullet and has been used with great success. The 125 grain #2120 bullet will prove too light for the 200-meter rams in Handgun Silhouettes but is a good choice for the smaller lighter chickens turkeys and pigs. Due to their flat base design Pro-Hunter bullets are an excellent choice for a cartridge with limited powder capacity and a short neck because these bullets intrude into the powder space less than a boat tail.
