Hornady 2267 Traditional Target .22 Cal 55gr FMJBT .224 Ammunition

Hornady 2267 Traditional Target .22 cal 55gr FMJBT rifle bullets are engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability at the reloading bench. Built on Hornady's reputation for precision ammunition components, these .224" bullets pair quality construction with the straightforward performance target shooters need for practice, matches, and load development. Whether you're fine-tuning a varmint load or working up ammunition for your .223 Remington, these 55-grain full metal jacket boat-tail bullets deliver the concentricity and uniformity serious reloaders expect.

The AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket that defines Hornady's modern bullet line isn't just marketing—it's a meaningful difference in how the component performs. Tighter tolerances during manufacturing mean less runout and more predictable bullet-to-bullet performance downrange. The full metal jacket construction resists deformation and holds together through impact, making these bullets a solid choice for shooters who want their ammunition to perform as intended without surprises.

For hand-loaders building .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, or other .22 centerfire rounds, component quality matters as much as powder charge and primer selection. These Hornady bullets give you a reliable foundation for accurate, consistent ammunition. They're not exotic or cutting-edge—they're honest, well-made components that let your technique and rifle do the talking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and cartridges use .224" diameter 55-grain bullets?

These bullets are commonly loaded for .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .22-250 Remington, and other .22 centerfire cartridges that use .224" diameter projectiles. Always consult your reloading manual to confirm compatibility and safe load data for your specific firearm and powder combination.

Why does bullet concentricity matter in reloading?

Tight concentricity—meaning the bullet is centered precisely in the case—reduces runout and improves consistency. Hornadys AMP jacket process holds concentricity to very tight tolerances, which helps produce ammunition that shoots more predictably and groups more tightly, especially at longer distances or in precision shooting.

Are these bullets suitable for target shooting and practice loads?

Yes. The full metal jacket construction and rugged AMP jacket make these bullets reliable for range work, load development, and target practice. They're straightforward, honest components that let you focus on technique and load optimization.
