Hornady Traditional / FMJ Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 55 gr FMJ-BT With Cannelure (W/C) - 1000/Box

The Hornady Traditional FMJ Rifle Bullets .22 caliber .224" 55 grain FMJ-BT with cannelure represent a precision reloading solution engineered for shooters who demand consistent performance downrange. Built with Hornady's proprietary Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) bullet jacket, these .22 caliber rifle bullets deliver the dimensional consistency and structural integrity required for accurate placement at extended ranges. The full metal jacket configuration and boat-tail design combine to minimize drag and stabilize flight, making this 1000-round box a reliable choice for high-volume training, match preparation, or duty-related practice protocols.

The AMP jacket construction provides near-zero wall thickness variation and virtually zero tolerance for concentricity—specifications that distinguish Hornady ammunition from thin-plated alternatives on the market. This manufacturing rigor translates to bullets that punch through targets without deformation or jacket separation, a critical requirement when round-count volume demands reliability over dozens of magazines. The cannelure groove aids case retention during the reloading process and ensures consistent seating depth across full-scale production runs. At 55 grains, this projectile weight represents the standard load for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO applications, bridging civilian precision rifle training and military small-arms ammunition specifications.

Reloaders working with .223/5.56 platforms—whether for Law Enforcement firearms qualification, competitive three-gun or F-Class matches, or high-round-count range days—benefit from the controlled expansion and terminal consistency this bullet design provides. The boat-tail configuration improves ballistic coefficient, reducing wind drift at distance and extending the effective range window for precision rifle work. The 1000-round bulk packaging supports sustained training schedules without frequent reordering, reducing downtime between practice sessions. Shooters prioritizing accuracy over cost per round will find the manufacturing precision of Hornady's AMP process justifies the investment in these .22 caliber .224" 55-grain rifle bullets.
