Winchester Ammo X22P Varmint X22 Hornet 35 gr Polymer Tip Rapid Expansion 20 Bx/10 Cs

The Winchester Varmint X .22 Hornet brings serious stopping power to small-game and predator hunting in a round built specifically for fast, reliable kills. This 35-grain polymer-tip load is engineered for the unique demands of varmint hunters—whether you're working prairie dogs at distance or pursuing coyotes across open country. Winchester's Varmint X line combines time-tested Winchester ballistics with modern bullet technology designed to put game down hard and quickly.

What sets Varmint X apart is its engineering: a polymer tip that boosts long-range ballistics and initiates rapid expansion, paired with a thin alloy jacket and strategically profiled sidewalls. This construction prioritizes explosive fragmentation on impact—critical when you're shooting small, fast-moving targets or want minimal pelt damage on fur-bearing game. The lead core works in concert with the jacket design to ensure predictable, violent expansion that translates to faster, cleaner harvests in the field.

Each case contains 20 rounds per box, with 10 boxes per case, so you can stock up for extended hunting seasons or practice sessions. The .22 Hornet is an inherently accurate cartridge favored by precision varmint shooters, and Varmint X ammunition maximizes that accuracy with consistent construction and reliable performance across typical hunting distances.
