Hornady Traditional Varmint Bullets .22 caliber .224" 50 grain soft point are engineered for precision varmint and small-game hunting where flat trajectory and explosive terminal performance are essential. The 50-grain soft point design delivers the streamlined ballistics needed to minimize bullet drop at extended range, making these rounds well-suited for shooters targeting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and similar varmint species from 50 to 150+ yards.
The match-grade jacket construction ensures consistent accuracy across a wide velocity envelope, a critical factor when hunting with .22 centerfire rifles where velocity variation between individual rounds can affect point of impact. The soft point configuration expands reliably even at lower velocities typical of longer-range shots, preventing penciling and ensuring effective energy transfer. With 100 rounds per box, these bullets provide economical volume for serious varmint hunters and rifle shooters who demand proven, field-tested ammunition without premium pricing.
Hornady's .22 centerfire line is preferred by hunters and range shooters who prioritize consistency and downrange performance. The .224" diameter and 50-grain weight represent the benchmark for .22-250 Remington, .222 Remington, and similar varmint cartridges, offering the velocity and energy needed for clean, ethical kills on small predators and pest species. Whether loading custom ammunition or seeking factory-equivalent performance, these Traditional Varmint Bullets deliver proven results in rifles built for precision varmint work.
