The Hornady 2245 Traditional Varmint bullets deliver consistent accuracy and explosive terminal performance for varmint hunting and target shooting. These .224 caliber projectiles feature the proven spire point design that has made Hornady a trusted name among precision shooters. Each 50-grain bullet maintains tight tolerances for reliable feeding and consistent ballistics across multiple platforms.
What Makes This Different
Hornady's Traditional line uses a lead core with precisely controlled hardness, surrounded by a gilding metal jacket that's tapered for uniform expansion. The spire point tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the boat tail base design reduces drag and improves long-range stability. These bullets consistently outperform standard FMJ rounds in both accuracy and terminal effectiveness, with typical groups measuring under 1 MOA in quality rifles.Key Features
