The Hornady 22 Cal 55 Grain Spire Point Bullets are a trusted choice for handloaders building ammunition for .224 Diameter rifle applications, especially varmint hunting and precision shooting. These 55-grain projectiles combine Hornady's traditional spire point profile with a flat base design, delivering the kind of ballistic efficiency and reliability that has made them a reloader's staple for decades. If you're working with classic varmint rifles or modern .224 platforms and want bullets that perform consistently across a range of velocities, this box of 100 offers solid value and predictable results.
What sets these bullets apart is their construction: Hornady's match-grade AMP copper jackets are engineered for uniform thickness and concentricity, which translates to better accuracy when you're loading for precision or hunting. The spire point design promotes flat trajectories, meaning less holdover correction at distance—a real advantage when you're calling coyotes or shooting prairie dogs. The lead core pairs with the quality jacket to produce reliable expansion even when velocities dip below optimal ranges, so you're not penalized if your load isn't screaming downrange.
Whether you're a dedicated varmint hunter fine-tuning loads for your favorite rifle or a general reloader stocking components for multiple calibers, these bullets handle both roles capably. The 100-count box format keeps your inventory manageable while letting you work through several load development sessions without excess waste. Hornady's no-nonsense approach to bullet design means you get performance that's been proven in the field, not marketing hype.
| Caliber | 22 Cal (.224 Diameter) |
| Weight | 55 Grains |
| Bullet Profile | Spire Point |
| Base Design | Flat Base |
| Quantity per Box | 100 |
| Core Material | Lead |
| Jacket Type | Match-Grade AMP Copper |
These are .224 diameter bullets designed for rifles chambered in .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .22-250 Remington, and similar .224-diameter cartridges. Always verify bullet diameter compatibility with your specific rifle and load data before using them.
Yes. The spire point design and flat trajectory characteristics make them suitable for both applications. Varmint hunters value the reliable expansion and aerodynamic profile, while precision shooters benefit from the match-grade jacket consistency.
They are specifically designed to deliver reliable expansion even when velocities are lower than typical maximum loads, making them a good choice for rifles or load combinations that don't achieve peak velocities.
Each box contains 100 loose bullets ready for reloading. No cases, primers, or powder are included—just the projectiles.
