The Sierra 1110 Varminter delivers exceptional accuracy for small game hunting and varmint control with its precision-engineered 22 caliber design. These 45-grain round nose bullets provide reliable expansion and consistent performance in .22 Hornet cartridges. Sierra's reputation for match-grade precision makes these bullets a trusted choice among hunters targeting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small varmints.
What Makes This Different
Sierra's Varminter line features a unique jacket design that ensures controlled expansion at the moderate velocities typical of .22 Hornet loads. The round nose profile maintains excellent ballistic coefficients while providing reliable feeding in single-shot and lever-action rifles. Unlike hollow point designs that can fragment excessively, these bullets deliver consistent penetration with predictable expansion patterns.
Key Features
- 45-grain weight optimized for .22 Hornet velocity ranges
- Round nose profile ensures reliable feeding in all action types
- Precision-drawn copper jacket maintains concentricity tolerances
- Lead core composition engineered for controlled expansion
- Consistent bullet-to-bullet weight variance under 0.3 grains
- 100-count box provides excellent value for high-volume shooting
- Compatible with standard .224" diameter rifle barrels
Field performance demonstrates excellent accuracy potential, with many rifles achieving sub-MOA groups at 100 yards when paired with appropriate powder charges. The moderate expansion characteristics make these bullets effective on small game without excessive pelt damage. Temperature stability remains consistent across seasonal hunting conditions, while the robust jacket construction prevents separation during magazine feeding cycles.
