Hornady Traditional Rifle Bullets .22 Cal .224" 55 Gr Hp 6000/Ct Bulk
The Hornady Traditional .22 caliber rifle bullets deliver dependable performance for reloaders working with .224" cartridges. Built on Hornady's reputation for precision ammunition components, these 55-grain hollow-point bullets come in bulk quantities—6,000 per case—making them ideal for high-volume shooters, competitive reloaders, and anyone who wants to stock up without breaking the bank. Whether you're loading for varmint hunting, target practice, or training, Traditional bullets offer the consistency and construction quality that separates Hornady from the commodity bullet bin.
What sets these bullets apart is Hornady's AMP—Advanced Manufacturing Process—jacket technology. Unlike the thin-plated jackets common in budget ammunition, the AMP jacket maintains extremely tight tolerances for concentricity and wall thickness uniformity. That engineering shows downrange: the bullet flies true, handles impact reliably, and resists the deformation and jacket separation that plagues inferior designs. For reloaders, that means tighter groups, more predictable ballistics, and fewer surprises at the range.
At 55 grains and hollow-point configuration, these projectiles suit a range of .22 centerfire applications. The bulk case format cuts your per-round component cost and means fewer trips to restock, so you can focus on what matters: precision reloading and putting rounds downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .22 cartridges will these bullets work with?
The .224" diameter fits standard .22 centerfire rifle cartridges. Check your specific load data before assembly.
Are these bullets suitable for varmint hunting?
Yes. The 55-grain hollow-point design is appropriate for varmint applications, though you should verify load data and performance characteristics for your specific cartridge and hunting application.
Why bulk 6,000-count cases?
Bulk purchasing significantly reduces per-round component cost, making it economical for reloaders who shoot frequently or want to maintain a deep supply of components.
How does the AMP jacket compare to standard jackets?
Hornady's AMP jacket features virtually zero tolerance for concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation, which resists deformation and separation on impact—delivering more consistent performance downrange compared to thin-plated jackets used elsewhere.
