In the realm of precision and performance, this .22 caliber ammunition stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Designed with the discerning marksman in mind, it features a 40-grain Hornet bullet equipped with a jacketed soft point. This configuration is not merely for show; it delivers exceptional accuracy and reliable expansion when engaging small varmints at modest velocities.
The engineering behind these rounds is notable for its thin-walled jacket and soft core, presenting an optimal balance between penetration and controlled expansion. The traditional roundnose shape caters to cartridges such as the 22 Hornet, 22 K-Hornet, or 218 Bee operating within muzzle velocities ranging from 2600 to 2900 feet per second (fps). Such design ensures that each shot maintains stability even in barrels with twist rates of 1x16 inches.
For rifle aficionados seeking versatility across platforms like the .222 Remington or .223 Remington, this ammunition accommodates target practice and varmint control alike—capable of reaching muzzle velocities up to an impressive 3500 fps. Its ballistic coefficients vary strategically: achieving .117 above speeds of 2800 fps, settling at .123 between ranges of 2800 to 2000 fps, and finally aligning at .136 below those thresholds.
This ammunition also extends its utility beyond rifles into handguns chambered for centerfire cartridges in the same caliber. Whether employed as a varmint bullet under Hornet handgun conditions or transforming into an explosive 'Blitz' style projectile at higher velocities typical of the .223 Remington—it adapts seamlessly while maintaining outstanding short-to-moderate range accuracy.
Packed conveniently with a count of one hundred rounds per box, this product offers both quantity and quality—a rare combination that promises reliability whenever called upon. For those who seek excellence without compromise in their shooting endeavors, these rounds represent more than just another option—they are indeed a preferred choice among connoisseurs.
