Hornady Traditional / Fmj Rifle Bullets .22 Cal .224" 62 Gr 5500/Ct

Hornady Traditional and FMJ rifle bullets in .22 caliber (.224" diameter, 62 grain) give you a dependable, affordable option for high-volume shooting, practice, and plinking. Built with Hornady's AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jacket, these rounds are engineered to handle consistent performance across thousands of rounds—whether you're working through a 5,500-count bulk box at the range or stocking up for the season. The robust jacket construction resists the deformation and separation that plague cheaper alternatives, so your bullets perform predictably without breaking apart on impact.

The .22 centerfire platform has loyal fans among varmint shooters, competition reloaders, and anyone who appreciates a lighter-recoil rifle round. At 62 grains with a full metal jacket, these Hornady bullets deliver the kind of terminal consistency you expect from a manufacturer that's spent decades perfecting brass and projectiles. The thin-jacket competitors out there promise durability; Hornady backs it with actual manufacturing tolerances—near-zero wall thickness variation and virtually zero concentricity deviation mean each bullet behaves like the last.

Available in the 5,500-count bulk format, this is the kind of buy you make when you're serious about feeding a .22 centerfire rifle regularly. Load your own, dial in your precision, or just appreciate the no-nonsense performance of a properly made projectile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles can I use these .22 centerfire bullets in?

These .224" bullets are sized for .22 centerfire rifles (such as .222 Remington, .22-250, and similar cartridges). Verify your rifle's caliber and bullet diameter before loading. Do not use these in .22 rimfire firearms.

Are these bullets suitable for reloading, or are they loaded ammunition?

These are bullets only—loose projectiles for reloading. They are not loaded cartridges. You will need to pair them with appropriate brass, primers, and powder for your specific .22 centerfire load.

Why does jacket quality matter in rifle bullets?

A well-engineered jacket resists deformation and separation on impact, ensuring reliable performance and accuracy. Hornady's AMP process maintains tight concentricity and wall thickness tolerances, so each bullet behaves consistently. Cheaper jackets with thinner plating or poor tolerances can distort or break, degrading accuracy and terminal performance.

Is a 5,500-count box a standard bulk pack?

Yes—the 5,500-count format is a high-volume reloader's box, offering economy pricing per bullet and convenient restocking for shooters who fire large volumes through .22 centerfire rifles.
