Hornady Traditional / FMJ Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 55 gr FMJBT CANN 100/Box

Hornady Traditional FMJ Rifle Bullets .22 caliber .224" 55 grain deliver precision and reliability for range shooting, varmint control, and training applications. Built with Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) bullet jacket technology, these full metal jacket boat-tail rounds feature virtually zero concentricity tolerance and near-zero wall thickness variation—delivering consistent chamber-to-target performance that separates quality ammunition from commodity rounds.

The AMP jacket construction punches through targets without deformation or jacket separation, a critical advantage over thin-plated full metal jacket offerings that distort on impact. At 55 grains, this projectile weight balances velocity and energy for .22 Hornet, .223 Remington, and 5.56mm NATO applications, with the boat-tail profile providing improved ballistic coefficient for extended-range accuracy. The 100-round box format is standard for serious shooters who demand consistency across high-volume training sessions and competitive shooting events.

These bullets serve law enforcement training pipelines, military marksmanship programs, and civilian precision rifle shooters who cannot tolerate variance in jacket concentricity or wall thickness. Handloaders and factory ammunition manufacturers both rely on Hornady's bullet quality to produce rounds that group tight and perform reliably downrange. The full metal jacket configuration meets range protocols where soft-point or hollow-point projectiles are restricted, making this a versatile choice for high-volume ammunition production and standardized duty ammunition loads.

Hornady's reputation in the reloading and ammunition sector rests on process control and jacket engineering—factors that directly impact group size and reliability. The .224" diameter and 55-grain weight are industry-standard specifications for .22 centerfire platforms, ensuring compatibility with standard reloading dies and established load data across published manuals and industry resources.
