Hrndy 22cal .224 55gr Sp W/c 100ct

The Hornady 22 Caliber .224 55 Grain Soft Point with Cannelure (100ct) is a purpose-built rifle projectile engineered for handloaders seeking precision and consistent performance across intermediate-range applications. The 55-grain soft point design delivers a balance of sectional density and velocity retention, making it a proven choice for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO reloaders who demand accuracy without excessive recoil.

The cannelure ring crimps securely into the case neck, preventing bullet setback during feeding and repeated chambering—a critical consideration for semi-automatic platforms and progressive loading scenarios. The soft point construction generates controlled expansion on impact while maintaining bullet integrity through intermediate barriers, a characteristic valued in both varmint and defensive reloading applications. Hornady's quality control standards ensure consistent bullet weight and dimensions, reducing chronograph spread and improving group consistency shot-to-shot.

This projectile serves handloaders targeting varmint hunting, precision rifle practice, and duty-relevant training loads. The 100-count packaging supports both single-stage and progressive reloaders managing mid-volume practice schedules. For those building .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO loads, these bullets pair effectively with standard rifle powders and primers across typical pressure windows, making them a reliable foundation for load development and sustained field use.
