The Sierra Varminter 22 Cal 45 Grain Spitzer Bullets are a reloader's go-to for precision varmint work across a range of .22 centerfire cartridges. Built with Sierra's signature precisely drawn jackets, these 45-grain projectiles deliver the accuracy and reliability that have made Sierra a trusted name in handloading for decades. Whether you're loading for a .22-250, .220 Swift, or other magnum .22 cartridges, these bullets are engineered to perform at the velocities those rounds demand.
What sets the Varminter apart is its balance of toughness and terminal performance. The spitzer point shape cuts through air efficiently, while the flat base provides predictable seating and consistent velocities. Sierra's quality control means you're working with bullets that shoot to their published ballistics—critical when you're trying to ring steel or make precise hits on small game at distance. This box of 100 gives you enough ammunition for serious practice or a productive season in the field.
The 45-grain weight is especially well-suited to the hotter .22 magnums like the .22-250 and .220 Swift, where its construction holds together at the velocities those cartridges generate. Reloaders appreciate Sierra bullets for their consistency, and the Varminter's reputation speaks for itself among accomplished varmint hunters who demand sub-minute-of-angle accuracy and dependable expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .22 cartridges are these bullets designed for?
The Sierra Varminter 45-grain bullets are especially well-suited to magnum .22 centerfire cartridges like the .22-250 and .220 Swift. While they are capable of producing Sierra's hallmark accuracy in .222 and .223 Remington, they are optimized for the higher velocities of the larger magnum cases.
Can I use these bullets in my .223 Remington?
Yes, the Varminter 45-grain bullets are fully capable of producing quarter-minute-of-angle accuracy in .223 Remington. However, they are slightly harder at typical .223 velocities; they are specifically engineered and perform best when loaded to the higher velocities of .22-250 and .220 Swift cartridges.
Are these bullets suitable for handgun use?
While these bullets are capable of producing accurate target results in handguns, they are considered too hard at typical handgun velocities for hunting applications. Only if your handgun generates muzzle velocities exceeding 3000 fps could they be considered for varmint hunting at moderate ranges, though explosive expansion should not be expected.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, providing a full supply for serious reloaders and varmint hunters.
