HSM 22 ARC ammunition delivers a proven varmint round for shooters who demand precision at distance without excessive barrel wear. The 22 ARC cartridge has carved out a loyal following among long-range varmint hunters and competitive shooters, and HSM's Varmint load pairs a 55-grain V-Max bullet with a velocity of 3,247 fps to give you flat trajectory, explosive terminal performance on small game, and the inherent accuracy of the cartridge. Whether you're stocking up for the season or testing a new rifle build, this 20-round per box configuration makes it easy to grab a few boxes or load a full case.
The V-Max bullet is engineered for rapid expansion on impact, which means clean, ethical kills on varmints from ground squirrels to prairie dogs. At the velocity HSM achieves in this load, you'll see consistent performance across reasonable shooting distances, and the bullet's ballistic coefficient and design work together to retain energy downrange. This isn't a round built for deep penetration or tough medium game—it's purpose-built for what it does: fast, accurate varmint shooting.
HSM has been producing ammunition for serious shooters since the 1970s, and their Varmint line reflects that heritage: quality control, consistent loading, and respect for the cartridge's potential. If you're running a 22 ARC and looking for a reliable, effective varmint round without the guesswork of reloading, this is a straightforward choice.

The 22 ARC is purpose-built for long-range varmint hunting and precision shooting. It delivers rifle-class velocity and ballistics in a compact, efficient package that minimizes barrel wear compared to larger centerfire rounds, making it popular among shooters who take many varmint shots in a season.
This ammunition is chambered in 22 ARC and will function in any rifle or carbine chambered for that cartridge. Always verify your firearm's chamber marking before loading.
This product is sold in 20-round boxes. A full case contains 25 boxes (500 rounds total). Buying in bulk is convenient if you shoot frequently or want to ensure consistent ammunition for practice and hunting.
The V-Max design is optimized for rapid expansion on lighter varmint game at 22 ARC velocities. It's ideal for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar targets. For larger game, you'd want to consider ammunition with a different bullet design.
