The HSM 222504N Varmint ammunition delivers precision terminal performance for small game and varmint hunting with its 55-grain soft point bullet design. This 22-250 Remington cartridge combines flat trajectory characteristics with controlled expansion for clean, ethical harvests at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
HSM's varmint-specific load development focuses on consistent velocities and tight shot groups rather than generic hunting rounds. The 55-grain soft point bullet weight provides an optimal balance between speed and energy retention, maintaining over 1,200 ft-lbs of energy at 200 yards. Quality control standards include pressure testing and velocity verification on every production lot.
Key Features
- 55-grain soft point bullet designed for rapid expansion on small game
- 22-250 Remington chambering for flat trajectory and minimal wind drift
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- 20-round boxes packaged in 25-box cases for bulk purchasing
- Muzzle velocity approximately 3,680 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Non-corrosive powder and primer components
Field performance testing shows sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality bolt-action rifles with proper barrel twist rates. The soft point construction initiates expansion reliably on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized targets while maintaining structural integrity for deeper penetration. Temperature stability remains consistent across seasonal hunting conditions from -20°F to 140°F.
