Hornady Traditional Varmint Bullets in .224 diameter, 55 grain (part no. 2266B), are built with a streamlined profile for an ultra-flat trajectory and a match-grade jacket for maximum accuracy at every range a varmint hunter is likely to shoot. The soft point design delivers explosive expansion even at reduced velocities from shorter barrels or longer shots, which is exactly what predator and varmint control calls for. This is bulk case packaging at 6,000 count, sized for guides, high-volume varmint hunters, and anyone running a caliber this fast through a lot of rounds each season.
