Hornady 22 Hornet Bullets (.224 Diameter) 45 Grain JSP - Box of 100

The Hornady 22 Hornet Bullets in .224 diameter, 45-grain soft point (JSP) are purpose-built rounds for reloaders working up ammunition for the efficient .22 Hornet cartridge. Whether you're handloading for varmint hunting, target work, or casual shooting, these bullets deliver the accuracy and performance that Hornady's match-grade engineering is known for. A box of 100 gives you plenty of components to develop loads and keep your magazine fed.

The soft point construction is engineered to perform across the velocity range typical of the .22 Hornet—a cartridge that balances power with modest recoil and clean handling. The streamlined profile contributes to flatter trajectories, which matters when you're stretching distance on small game or varmints. Hornady's jacket design prioritizes consistent expansion and accuracy, so you can trust your handloads to deliver results downrange, whether you're working up precision loads at the bench or building ammunition for the field.

For reloaders who appreciate quality components and the control that handloading offers, these .224 bullets are a straightforward choice. They're part of a long lineage of Hornady reloading products that balances performance with reasonable cost per round, making them accessible for both occasional loaders and those who shoot regularly.
