The Sierra Varminter .22 Cal .223 45gr Hornet Bullet is designed for rifles with a traditional roundnose shape, featuring a thin-walled jacket and a soft core. It performs particularly well in cartridges such as the 22 Hornet, 22 K-Hornet, and 218 Bee, achieving muzzle velocities between 2600 and 2900 fps. The combination of the thin jacket and rounded nose ensures excellent accuracy and effective expansion on small varmints at these modest velocities. This bullet is well-suited for barrels with a 1×16? twist rate, where a shorter bullet is needed for proper stability, and it also performs effectively in medium-capacity cartridges like the 222 Remington and 223 Remington, reaching muzzle velocities up to 3500 fps. The roundnose design provides exceptional precision, particularly at short to moderate ranges, making it ideal for both target and varmint shooting.
