Sierra Hornet Varminter Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 45 gr HRNT 100/ct

The Sierra Hornet Varminter Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 45 gr HRNT 100/ct are engineered for shooters requiring surgical precision and rapid expansion in small-game applications. Designed specifically for lower-velocity cartridges, these projectiles bridge the gap between traditional target shooting and high-stakes pest control. Whether you are maintaining a perimeter against invasive species or refining your handloads for classic platforms, these bullets offer the consistency expected from a professional-grade component.

These bullets feature a thin-walled jacket and a soft lead core, a combination optimized for immediate expansion upon impact at velocities between 2600 and 2900 fps. The traditional roundnose shape provides a shorter profile, ensuring reliable feeding and stabilization in older or more specialized rifling twists. By utilizing a thin jacket construction, Sierra ensures that the Hornet Varminter delivers maximum energy transfer even when fired from smaller capacity cases like the .22 Hornet or .218 Bee.

Reliability is paramount for high-volume shooters, and the Sierra Hornet Varminter Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 45 gr HRNT 100/ct are the gold standard for those running .22 K-Hornet and similar small-bore setups. The 45-grain weight strikes an ideal balance between velocity and terminal performance, making it a favorite for those who handload for varmint control. Professionals and enthusiasts alike will appreciate the tight tolerances and outstanding accuracy that have made these projectiles a staple in the reloading community for decades.
