The Sierra Varminter 22 Cal 55gr Blitz Bullets offer reloaders a proven varmint round engineered specifically for .222 Remington and .223 Remington rifles. These lightly jacketed 55-grain projectiles are built for the velocity profiles these cartridges naturally deliver, combining the frangibility needed for small-game hunting with the accuracy Sierra is known for. The Blitz design prioritizes explosive expansion on impact, making it a serious choice for anyone reloading varmint ammunition for deer-sized predator control or high-volume target work.
Sierra's iconic Spitzer point geometry gives these bullets a high ballistic coefficient, meaning flatter trajectory, better downrange energy retention, and less wind drift than conventional designs. That combination matters when you're stretching shots across open country or taking multiple animals in a session. The thin jacket is specifically engineered for total frangibility—meaning the bullet disintegrates on impact rather than penciling through—so you get the humane, quick kills varmint hunting demands.
A critical note: these bullets are designed for conventional twist barrels (1:12" or 1:14") in .22 centerfire rifles. Fast-twist barrels can cause premature disintegration in flight, so verify your barrel twist before loading. They're engineered for velocities below 3600 FPS. With a box of 100, you've got enough to work up a load, practice your craft, or establish a reliable hunting round. If you're serious about varmint reloading in .222 or .223, these are worth testing in your rifle.
