Sellier & Bellot’s Rifle line in .22 Hornet (part no. SB22HA) loads a 45-grain full metal jacket bullet on a brass case, keeping one of the original small-varmint cartridges fed with dependable, affordable ammunition. Sellier & Bellot has built a long reputation on consistent, affordable centerfire ammunition, and this load carries that reputation into a mild-recoiling cartridge still found in classic bolt-action and single-shot varmint rifles. The FMJ bullet profile is built for reliable function and low cost rather than expansion, making it a straightforward practice round for a rifle that does not see high-volume shooting. This rifle ammunition keeps a classic chambering fed without hunting-specific pricing.
