The Hornady Traditional Varmint Bullets .22 caliber .224" 55 grain soft point ammunition delivers the streamlined design and match-grade jacket construction demanded by precision varmint hunters and competitive shooters. These rounds are engineered for ultra-flat trajectories and maximum accuracy across all engagement ranges, making them the preferred choice for shooters pursuing small-game and pest control where shot placement and consistency matter most.
Each box contains 100 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition ready to perform. The 55-grain soft point projectile combines Hornady's proven jacket design with a streamlined profile that minimizes wind drift and maintains velocity downrange. The soft point construction provides reliable expansion even at reduced velocities, a critical feature when hunting at extended ranges where velocity decay is a factor. The match-grade jacket consistency ensures repeatable ballistics from shot to shot, translating to tighter shot groups and more humane, ethical kills in the field.
This ammunition is purpose-built for .22 centerfire rifles—the workhorse platform for varmint control, predator hunting, and rimfire precision shooting. Hornady's Traditional Varmint line bridges the gap between budget-conscious shooters and those seeking verified performance without premium pricing. The 55-grain soft point is particularly suited to prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and other small to medium targets where controlled expansion and velocity retention are priorities.
The .22 centerfire remains a foundational cartridge for serious varmint hunters because it delivers sufficient energy and expansion to be ethical while remaining affordable enough for extended practice and high-volume hunting days. Hornady's factory ammunition eliminates reloading labor for operators who prioritize field time over hand-loading, and the 100-round box format supports both single-session hunting expeditions and practice regimens without excessive bulk or cost per round.
