Hornady Match 22 Caliber (0.224'') 53Gr Hp 6000/Box$1,255.00
Availability: In Stock
The Hornady NTX .224" 35-grain lead-free rifle bullet is purpose-built for hunters and shooters operating in regions with restrictions on traditional lead ammunition. Whether you're reloading for .22-250, .223 Remington, or similar cartridges in California or other lead-free zones, the NTX delivers the accuracy and terminal performance you need without compromise.
At the heart of the NTX is Hornady's frangible copper-alloy core—a non-lead material engineered to fragment reliably on impact while maintaining the velocity and flat trajectory you expect from a polymer-tipped varmint or small-game round. The polymer tip isn't just aerodynamic; it sits in a small cavity between the tip and the copper core, a design borrowed from Hornady's proven V-MAX platform. On impact, this geometry allows the tip and jacket to build energy before driving into the core, triggering rapid expansion and fragmentation without relying on lead density.
Built with Hornady's AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jackets, these rounds are held to match-grade tolerances for consistency across the 100-count box. The streamlined profile delivers the ultra-flat trajectories you want for precision shooting at distance, whether you're handloading for competition, varmint control, or hunting where lead ammunition is prohibited. If you're reloading in a lead-free jurisdiction or simply prefer non-traditional ammunition, the NTX is a serious alternative that doesn't sacrifice performance.
| Caliber | .22 (0.224") |
| Weight | 35 grains |
| Bullet Type | Polymer tip, lead-free |
| Core Material | Frangible copper alloy |
| Count | 100 per box |
Yes. The NTX is specifically designed as a lead-free alternative and is California-compatible, making it suitable for hunting and shooting in jurisdictions that restrict traditional lead ammunition.
The .224" diameter and 35-grain weight are appropriate for cartridges such as .22-250 Remington, .223 Remington, and similar small-caliber rifle rounds. Always verify compatibility with your specific firearm and published load data before reloading.
The frangible copper-alloy core and polymer-tip cavity design are engineered to deliver reliable expansion and fragmentation on impact. The streamlined shape and match-grade construction ensure flat trajectories and accuracy comparable to traditional designs, making the NTX a viable lead-free option for varmint and small-game applications.
Each box contains 100 loose bullets ready for reloading. Brass, primers, and powder are sold separately.
