The Hornady ELD-VT 22 Caliber Rifle Bullets (brand part no. 22772) are built to redefine varmint hunting and long-range shooting, offering unmatched accuracy and rapid fragmentation at a true .224-inch diameter and 69 grains. The ELD-VT pairs a long, sleek match bullet profile with a reduced core-to-bullet-length ratio that maximizes muzzle velocity and shifts the center of gravity rearward, enhancing aerodynamic performance. Upon impact, the polymer tip drives rearward through the air gap into the bullet core, causing rapid and dramatic fragmentation even at low velocity, making this bullet a strong choice for long-range varmint hunts and long-range competition alike.
