The Speer 1053 Varmint ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for small game and varmint hunting with its precision-engineered 70-grain jacketed soft point design. This .22 caliber load combines controlled expansion with deep penetration for reliable one-shot stops on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar targets.
What Makes This Different
Speer's jacketed soft point construction provides superior accuracy compared to standard hollow point varmint loads while maintaining controlled expansion at impact. The 70-grain bullet weight offers an optimal balance of velocity and retained energy downrange. Factory-loaded cartridges ensure consistent powder charges and seating depth for match-grade precision shot after shot.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles at 100 yards. The jacketed soft point design expands reliably at velocities between 2,200-3,000 fps, making it effective for both close-range pest control and longer varmint shots. Weather-resistant primer sealant ensures reliable ignition in humid conditions or temperature extremes.
