The Hornady 22 Caliber 55-grain Spire Point Boat Tail bullets are a proven choice for reloaders building ammunition for varmint rifles and small-game hunting. Built with Hornady's match-grade AMP copper jacket and lead core, these .224 bullets deliver the accuracy and velocity stability you need whether you're handloading for a classic rimfire or centerfire varmint rifle. The spire point profile combined with the boat tail design produces a flatter trajectory and more consistent performance downrange than flat-base alternatives.
What sets these bullets apart for the reloader is their proven behavior across a wide range of velocities. They expand reliably even when you're working with lower powder charges or older rifle platforms that don't generate modern velocities—a real advantage if you're tuning loads for accuracy in a vintage gun or reducing noise and recoil for practice. The cannelure crimping groove gives you a secure grip in the case neck, which is especially useful when you're loading for semi-automatic rifles or other platforms where bullet setback can be a concern.
Hornady's traditional varmint bullet design reflects decades of field experience. Whether you're loading for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or foxes, or simply stocking up for high-volume range work, these 55-grain bullets offer straightforward, repeatable ballistics. They're a no-nonsense option for reloaders who value consistency and don't need exotic polymer tips or cutting-edge bonding technologies.
| Caliber | 22 (.224) |
| Bullet Weight | 55 grains |
| Bullet Style | Spire Point Boat Tail with Cannelure |
| Jacket Material | Match-grade AMP copper |
| Core Material | Lead |
These .224 bullets are sized for any 22 caliber rifle that accepts .224-diameter projectiles—including both older classic varmint rifles and modern centerfire platforms. Always verify proper fit and function in your specific rifle before loading ammunition.
Yes. Hornady designed these bullets to expand reliably even when fired at lower velocities, making them a good option if you're handloading reduced-power loads or using older rifles that generate less velocity than modern platforms.
The cannelure is a crimp groove that allows you to seat the bullet deeper into the case and crimp the case neck around the bullet. This provides a more secure grip and is particularly helpful for semi-automatic rifles or other applications where bullet setback can occur.
These are component bullets designed specifically for handloaders. You will need to pair them with brass cases, primers, and powder to create complete ammunition.
