Speer 1047 Varmint .22 Cal .224 55gr JSP Bullets - 100 Count

If you're loading ammunition for varmint hunting with a .22 centerfire rifle, Speer 1047 varmint bullets deliver the controlled expansion you need without destroying pelts. These .224-inch, 55-grain jacketed soft points are designed around a proven principle: reliable expansion that stops at the hide rather than blowing through it, keeping your pelt intact for the critters that matter. The spitzer tip geometry gives you the ballistic shape that carries downrange accurately, a real advantage when you're working distance or dealing with small, quick targets.

Speer has built a reputation on ammunition that does what it promises, and their varmint line is no exception. The jacketed soft point construction balances penetration with expansion, so you get clean, ethical kills without the explosive terminal performance that ruins fur and hide. For reloaders working with .22 centerfire cases, these 100-count boxes give you enough to develop a solid load, test performance, and stock up for the season ahead.

Whether you're hand-loading for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or other varmint work, these bullets reward precision in your reloading bench with precision on target. The consistent construction Speer is known for means you'll get shot-to-shot uniformity that translates to tighter groups and more ethical hunting. Grab a box and start developing loads that put meat on the table and keep your pelts worth keeping.
