The Sierra .22 Cal Bullets, 45 gr Soft Point Boat Tail (Sierra part no. 1210) are Sierra‘s Varminter Series bullets sized at .224 in. and designed specifically for the .22 Hornet, sold 100 to a box. At 45 grains, this is a lighter varmint bullet than Sierra’s typical .22-caliber match and hunting weights, built for the velocities and case capacity the Hornet cartridge actually produces rather than for a faster, higher-pressure .22-caliber round. It’s sold as a component bullet for handloaders building their own .22 Hornet ammunition.
