Speer Varmint Soft Point Rifle Bullets .224 cal .224" 40 gr JSP 100/ct

The Speer Varmint Soft Point rifle bullets in .224 caliber are purpose-built for reloaders who want controlled expansion and clean kills on small game and varmints without unnecessary pelt damage. At 40 grains, these .224" jacketed soft point bullets are an economical choice for high-volume shooting, target practice, and predator control. A 100-count box gives you enough for serious handloading sessions without breaking the bank.

The soft point design sits between a full metal jacket and a hollow point—it expands reliably on impact while retaining most of its jacket, which means less meat damage on edible game and cleaner terminal performance on thin-skinned varmints. The Spitzer tip profile delivers better ballistic efficiency than rounded noses, helping maintain velocity downrange and grouping consistency on the bench or in the field.

Speer has been a staple in reloading circles for decades because their bullets shoot straight and perform predictably. Whether you're loading for a .223 Remington, .222 Remington, or another .224-diameter cartridge, these are a no-fuss option that lets you focus on load development and marksmanship instead of chasing exotic bullet names.
