The Speer 1035 Varmint delivers devastating terminal performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other varmints with its precision-engineered hollow point design. This 52-grain .224 diameter bullet combines controlled expansion with deep penetration for clean, humane kills at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Speer's proprietary jacket design ensures consistent expansion across varying impact velocities, from 200 to 400 yards. The boat-tail base reduces drag for flatter trajectories compared to flat-base varmint bullets. Independent testing shows 15% better ballistic coefficient than comparable hollow points, translating to less wind drift and drop compensation at distance.
Key Features
- 52-grain hollow point with controlled expansion for maximum energy transfer
- .224 diameter boat-tail design for superior long-range ballistics
- Uniform jacket thickness ensures consistent terminal performance
- Compatible with .223 Remington, .22-250, and similar .224 caliber cartridges
- Precision swaged lead core for balanced weight distribution
- 100 bullets per box, 5 boxes per case (500 total bullets)
- Manufactured to +/- 0.3 grain weight tolerance
Field performance data shows reliable expansion down to 1,800 fps impact velocity, making these bullets effective across the entire practical range spectrum. The hollow point cavity depth provides immediate energy dump on contact while the boat-tail maintains velocity retention beyond 300 yards. Reloaders report excellent accuracy potential with powder charges optimized for this bullet weight.
