The Remington Premier Varmint 22 Hornet load brings a 35-grain AccuTip polymer tip to 3100 feet per second with 747 foot-pounds at the muzzle — velocity and energy engineered for flat trajectory and controlled expansion on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes inside 200 yards. The 22 Hornet cartridge, standardized in 1930, remains one of the most efficient varmint rounds for bolt-action rifles where noise and recoil matter. This load pairs a boat-tail bullet with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.109, brass cases, and non-corrosive boxer primers — reloadable components for shooters who track brass and measure powder charges at the bench.
Built for the Box
Remington manufactures the AccuTip projectile with a gold-tinted polymer tip that initiates expansion on impact and a boat-tail base that stabilizes flight beyond 150 yards. The brass case headstamps with lot codes, and the boxer primer seats flush — no crimp, no sealant. Each round chambers in SAAMI-spec .22 Hornet chambers with .002-inch case-mouth clearance, and the 35-grain bullet engages rifling at .224-inch diameter. Fifty rounds ship in a cardboard tray inside a polymer box; total shipping weight is 0.810 pounds.

This load fits bolt-action and single-shot rifles chambered for the .22 Hornet — verify headspace and throat dimensions before ordering if your rifle predates 1960. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from solvents and direct sunlight; brass cases oxidize when exposed to humidity above 60 percent. For additional 22 Hornet ammo options, compare bullet weights and muzzle velocities across our catalog.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering.
