Sierra 22cal 40gr Hornet .223 dia #1100

This bullet was designed for rifles with a thin-walled jacket and a soft core in the conventional round nose shape for cartridges like the 22 Hornet, 22 K-Hornet, or 218 Bee with muzzle speeds between 2600 and 2900 fps. At these low velocities, the bullet's thin jacket and rounded snout enable excellent accuracy and effective expansion on small varmints. The bullet is designed for barrels with a 1/16" twist rate and muzzle velocities that necessitate a "short" bullet for adequate stability. It's also good for target and varmint shooting with rifles that fire medium-capacity cartridges like the 222 Remington and 223 Remington at muzzle velocity up to 3500 fps. This bullet, which has a thin jacket and a lot of exposed lead, is suited for all 22 caliber centerfire cartridges in handguns. It will expand from a varmint bullet in Hornet handgun velocities to a powerful “Blitz” style Varminter in 223 Remington velocities. Bullets with a round nose form provide exceptional accuracy, especially at short to medium ranges.

FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between .223” and .224” bullets?
A: .223” bullets (like #1100) are designed for older or traditional .22 Hornet rifles, while .224” bullets are more common in modern .223 Rem rifles. Always match your rifle’s bore diameter.

Q: Is this suitable for .223 Remington?
A: No, this bullet is specifically designed for .22 Hornet velocities and may not perform optimally in .223 Rem.

Q: What game is this best for?
A: Ideal for small game and varmints such as rabbits, possums, and similar-sized targets.

Q: Does it expand well at low velocity?
A: Yes, it’s engineered to expand reliably at the lower velocities typical of .22 Hornet loads.
