Sierra Varminter 25 Cal 87-Grain Spitzer Bullets (100-Count)$42.15
Availability: In Stock
The Sierra Varminter .22 Cal 50-Grain Spitzer Bullets are purpose-built for precision varmint rifle work, delivering the accuracy and reliability that experienced hunters demand. With their classic spitzer profile and flat base, these 100-count rounds are engineered to achieve sub-quarter-minute accuracy at the velocities where they truly shine. Whether you're hand-loading for a 22-250, 220 Swift, or other high-velocity .22 centerfire, Sierra's precisely drawn jackets ensure consistent performance and controlled expansion, even when stretching shots to extended range.
These bullets earn their reputation in the hands of accomplished varmint hunters who understand the relationship between velocity, bullet construction, and terminal performance. The 50-grain Varminter's design philosophy prioritizes accuracy and reliability across the velocity envelope of its intended cartridges. Sierra's jacket-drawing process yields tight concentricity and uniform wall thickness—the foundation of repeatable precision. At the velocities these rounds are designed for, you get the explosive expansion varmints demand while maintaining the accuracy that separates ethical shots from wild misses.
It's worth noting that while these bullets are fully capable of delivering traditional Sierra accuracy, they're optimized for rifle applications in the .22-250, 220 Swift, and similar fast-twist, high-velocity cartridges. Handloaders working with magnum .22 rifle rounds will appreciate that construction—it's built tough enough to handle the velocities these cartridges demand without deforming in the chamber or bore. If you reload for precision varmint hunting and demand ammunition that delivers both the accuracy to ring steel at distance and the terminal performance to anchor your shot, Sierra Varminter bullets belong in your powder measure.

The Sierra Varminter 50-grain is especially well suited for high-velocity .22 centerfire cartridges like the 22-250 Remington and 220 Swift. They are capable of delivering accuracy in lower-velocity rounds such as the 222 and 223 Remington, though Sierra notes they perform at their best in the magnum .22 velocities these cartridges produce.
While these bullets are technically capable of producing Sierra's traditional accuracy in handguns, they are designed for and optimized to rifle velocities. At typical handgun velocities, they are considered too hard for reliable expansion on hunting varmints. Only if your handgun produces velocities greater than 3000 fps at the muzzle would moderate-range varmint hunting be possible, and even then expansion will be limited.
These bullets are fully capable of producing quarter-minute of angle accuracy at the velocities for which they're designed—22-250 and 220 Swift velocity ranges. Precision depends on your rifle, handloading technique, and ammunition assembly, but Sierra's precisely drawn jackets provide the consistency needed for repeatable tight groups.
Each box contains 100 Sierra Varminter .22 caliber bullets ready for handloading into your reloading components.
