Sierra Varminter 22 Cal. 63 Grain .224" SMP Rifle Bullet (100)

$31.99

Description

SKU: 00599837 In rifles, the semi-point design allows this style of bullet to expand faster than a Spitzer style due to a generous amount of exposed lead at the tip and the slightly larger opening in the jacket.

Capable of outstanding accuracy, this bullet can be an excellent choice for varmints and small game in many early 22 centerfire rifles which have slower twist rates than those commonly used today. The semi-point shape reduces bullet length for a given weight, making the bullet easier to stabilize. The penalty is that a Semi-Pointed bullet has a lower ballistic coefficient than a Spitzer-pointed bullet of the same weight. This bullet can also be used in modern rifles with faster twist rates.
