Description
HORNADY PROJ .22 CAL 50GR SP VARM
For reloaders who want a genuine classic in the loading press, this is the original Hornady Varmint bullet — the same lead-core, spire-point design Joyce Hornady built the whole varmint bullet category around. No polymer tip, no gimmicks, just a proven flat-shooting, hard-hitting design that's been dropping foxes and rabbits for decades.
The match-grade AMP copper jacket is what separates this from a bargain-bin projectile — consistent wall thickness and near-zero runout mean better accuracy and more predictable expansion, shot after shot, load after load.

Designed to deliver explosive expansion even at the lower velocities you'll see out of shorter-barrelled or milder varmint cartridges — this bullet doesn't need magnum-level speed to do its job, which makes it a genuinely versatile choice across a wide range of .22 centrefire rifles.
A dependable, no-nonsense pick for anyone loading their own varmint ammo who wants proven performance over the latest bullet tech — this is the bullet that set the standard the newer designs are still measured against.
