The Sierra High Velocity Varminter Rifle Bullets .22 caliber .224" 50 grain BLITZ-VAR is purpose-built for high-velocity rimfire and centerfire cartridges like the .222 Remington and .223 Remington. Engineered specifically for the velocity characteristics of these popular rifle calibers, this bullet delivers maximum terminal performance on varmint-sized game and target applications. The lightly jacketed construction is optimized for total frangibility upon impact, ensuring rapid energy transfer without over-penetration—a critical factor when shooting in populated or sensitive environments where bullet placement and energy containment matter.
At 50 grains with a sleek Spitzer point profile, this ammunition bullet balances sectional density with the ballistic coefficient needed for downrange performance. Sierra's manufacturing precision means you can expect accuracy rivaling their MatchKing target bullets—a distinction rarely found in dedicated varmint ammunition. The 100-count box format (100 rounds per box) allows range shooters and varmint hunters to maintain consistent round counts for load development and field use. These bullets are designed for conventional twist-rate barrels and should not be used in faster twist configurations due to the lightly constructed jacket.
This product is ideal for reloaders and shooters running .222 Rem or .223 Rem platforms who prioritize terminal performance and accuracy in a single offering. Prairie dog control, coyote work at extended range, and high-volume target shooting all benefit from the frangible design and velocity optimization. Serious reloaders appreciate Sierra's quality control and the ability to achieve match-grade accuracy without sacrificing varmint-class terminal performance—making these bullets a versatile choice for precision small-caliber work.
