Sierra Hornet Rifle Bullets: Precision and Power in .22 Caliber
For those who understand the art of precision shooting, Sierra offers its Hornet Rifle Bullets in a formidable .22 caliber. These bullets are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring a 0.223-inch diameter and weighing in at 45 grains. Designed with a traditional round nose shape, they are constructed using a thin-walled jacket combined with a soft core.
The Soft Point Boat Tail design is engineered for excellence across various cartridges like the .22 K-Hornet, .22 Hornet, and .218 Bee. This configuration is not only about tradition; it’s about enhancing ballistic performance where it counts most—on small varmints that require precise expansion upon impact.
With muzzle velocities ranging from an impressive 2600 to 2900 feet per second, these bullets exhibit outstanding accuracy. They maintain their stability particularly well when paired with barrels boasting a 1x16-inch twist rate—a critical factor when dealing with short bullet designs necessary for optimal trajectory control.
The sectional density stands at an efficient 0.129, while the ballistic coefficients range as follows: up to .132 at speeds surpassing 2800 fps; between .138 from velocities of 2800 down to 2000 fps; and reaching up to .153 below this threshold—all ensuring consistent performance throughout diverse velocity ranges.
Each box contains 100 rounds ready for action whether you're employing medium-capacity cartridges such as the venerable .222 or its sibling the Remington variant—both known for their reliable service in field conditions.
Saddle your rifle with Sierra's craftsmanship today—a choice marked by precision engineering aimed squarely at delivering results where they matter most on target practice or out in nature's untamed expanse.
