In the realm of precision shooting, few things are as crucial as the choice of ammunition. Enter the .22 (.224) High Velocity Spitzer bullet—a masterpiece in ballistic engineering designed for those who demand nothing short of excellence.
This 55-grain projectile stands out with its sleek Spitzer point shape and flat base, crafted meticulously to ensure pinpoint accuracy. It boasts a sectional density of .157, allowing it to slice through air with minimal resistance—ideal for long-range varmint hunting where precision is paramount.
The ballistic coefficients speak volumes about its aerodynamic efficiency: a formidable .237 at velocities above 2800 fps, maintaining near-perfect stability down to .230 at speeds below 1800 fps. Such performance characteristics make this bullet an unbeatable contender in rifles capable of achieving quarter-minute-of-angle (MOA) accuracy—an impressive feat that would cripple lesser projectiles.
If you're wielding cartridges like the 22-250 or the venerable 220 Swift, this bullet's slightly "hard" nature becomes an asset rather than a hindrance. Its robust build ensures reliable expansion even when pushed to maximum ranges—qualities highly prized by accomplished varmint hunters seeking consistent results shot after shot.
While handgun enthusiasts may appreciate Sierra's traditional accuracy standards, it's important to note that these bullets are best suited for target applications due to their hardness at typical handgun velocities. However, should your firearm achieve muzzle velocities exceeding 3000 fps with lighter variants such as the 45 or 50 grain options, venturing into moderate-range varmint hunting remains plausible without expecting explosive expansion.
Packed conveniently in boxes containing one hundred rounds each, these high-velocity wonders offer unmatched reliability and performance tailored specifically for discerning marksmen intent on mastering their craft.
