Optimized for small-caliber rifles and handguns, this Sierra .22 Cal round nose bullet is expertly designed with a thin jacket and soft core for controlled expansion and superior accuracy at modest velocities. Perfectly suited for cartridges like the .22 Hornet, 22 K-Hornet or .218 Bee within a velocity range of 2600 - 2900 fps, its traditional round nose shape enhances expansion on small varmints at close to mid-range distances. Ideal for 1:16 inches twist barrels, it also performs well in higher-velocity rifles such as the .222 Cal and .223 Remington at speeds up to 3500 fps. In handguns, its exposed lead and thin jacket deliver explosive performance at higher velocities or controlled expansion for Hornet-level loads, making it a versatile and accurate bullet choice for both varmints and target shooting applications.
