The Sierra Varminter 22 Cal 55gr Spitzer Bullets deliver the precision and performance that serious varmint reloaders demand. Built with Sierra's reputation for exacting accuracy, these .22 caliber projectiles are engineered to group tight at distance and perform reliably across a wide range of velocities. Whether you're loading for .22-250, .220 Swift, or other high-velocity .22 cartridges, the Varminter 55gr spitzer is a proven choice among experienced hunters and handloaders who won't compromise on accuracy or results.
Each bullet features a traditional spitzer point shape and flat base, combined with precisely drawn jackets that ensure consistent performance. The Varminter's construction makes it especially well-suited for the higher velocities these cartridges deliver—it remains stable and reliable where softer bullets would fail. This is a bullet built for hunters who understand their rifles, know their ballistics, and expect results at extended range. The 100-count box gives you a practical quantity for load development and field use without excessive bulk.
Sierra bullets have long been the standard for reloaders who prioritize accuracy. The Varminter line carries on that tradition, offering the balance of precision, durability, and expansion control that makes varmint hunting both effective and repeatable. If you're loading precision ammunition for varmint or target work in .22 centerfire rifles, these bullets belong in your reloading bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .22 cartridges are these bullets best for?
The Sierra Varminter 55gr is especially well-suited for high-velocity .22 centerfire cartridges such as the .22-250 and .220 Swift. The bullet is slightly firm at .222 or .223 Remington velocities but will perform reliably across a range of .22 rifle loads.
Will these work in my handgun?
While Sierra bullets are known for accuracy, the Varminter 55gr is too hard at typical handgun velocities for hunting applications. It may be used for target shooting with handguns, but explosive expansion cannot be expected at standard handgun velocity levels. If your handgun produces velocities over 3000 fps, lighter Sierra .22 bullets (45 or 50 grain) may be considered for moderate-range varmint work.
What kind of accuracy should I expect?
Sierra's precisely drawn jackets are designed to deliver the pinpoint accuracy these bullets are known for. The Varminter is capable of producing quarter-minute of angle accuracy in properly tuned rifles, even at distances where many other bullets would lose performance.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 100 Sierra Varminter 55gr bullets, giving you a practical quantity for load development, testing, and field use.
