Sierra 1200 Varminter 22 Cal 40gr Round Nose Hornet Bullets 100ct

The Sierra 1200 Varminter delivers consistent accuracy for small game and pest control applications. These 40-grain round nose bullets provide reliable expansion and clean kills on varmints from prairie dogs to coyotes. Manufactured to Sierra's exacting standards, each bullet maintains uniform weight and dimensions for predictable ballistic performance.

What Makes This Different

Sierra's Varminter line uses a softer lead core construction compared to their MatchKing target bullets, promoting rapid expansion on impact. The round nose profile feeds smoothly in lever-action and single-shot rifles while maintaining sufficient ballistic coefficient for flat trajectory. Factory testing shows consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality firearms, with velocities reaching 2,400-2,700 fps depending on powder selection.

Key Features

• 40-grain round nose design optimized for rapid expansion on varmints
• Soft lead core construction ensures reliable terminal performance
• Uniform jacket thickness maintains consistent accuracy shot-to-shot
• Round nose profile feeds reliably in lever-action and single-shot rifles
• Precision swaged construction eliminates air pockets and weight variations
• Compatible with standard .22 Hornet brass and loading data
• 100-count packaging reduces cost per round for high-volume shooting

Field performance shows effective expansion at velocities above 2,000 fps, making these bullets suitable for ranges out to 200 yards on small game. The round nose design penetrates brush better than hollow points while still providing adequate expansion for clean kills. Reloaders report excellent accuracy in rifles from Ruger Number 1 to CZ 527, with optimal performance using powders like H110 and Lil'Gun.
