Remington‘s High Performance Rifle series in .22 Hornet (brand part no. 28376) loads a 45-grain pointed soft point at a listed 2,690 feet per second for varmint hunters who want a proven cartridge from a company that offers centerfire ammunition across a huge range of calibers and bullet types. The pointed soft point pairs an aerodynamic tip with an exposed lead nose that mushrooms rapidly on impact, a varmint-hunting profile built to maximize energy transfer rather than penetration. .22 Hornet’s mild report and light recoil make it a favorite for close-in varmint work where a bigger cartridge would be overkill. For .22 Hornet shooters who want dependable factory ammunition, this rifle ammunition is built for the field.
