Winchester Super X 22 Hornet Ammo 46 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Box of 50

Last reviewed: 2026-04-19 by Jake Terry, FFL07/SOT3, NRA-certified firearms instructor.

Winchester Super X 22 Hornet ammo delivers a 46-grain jacketed hollow point at 2690 feet per second — a supersonic centerfire load engineered for rapid expansion and explosive fragmentation on contact. The Winchester Super X line positions bullet weight toward the rear of the projectile, stabilizing flight and improving accuracy at extended varmint ranges. Chambered in 22 Hornet, this load sits between rimfire and full-power centerfire cartridges, offering flat trajectory and minimal pelt damage for fur-bearing predators while delivering decisive terminal performance on prairie dogs and ground squirrels out to 200 yards.

Performance at a Glance

This boxer-primed brass is reloadable for handloaders seeking to tailor charge weights and bullet profiles to specific rifle chambers. The hollow point cavity initiates expansion at velocities above 2400 fps, fragmenting reliably on thin-skinned varmints while minimizing ricochets on hard-packed prairie terrain. Supersonic velocity rating ensures flat trajectory inside 175 yards — critical for snap shots on mobile ground squirrels and wind-aware coyote.

Who It’s For

This load suits bolt-action and single-shot rifles chambered in 22 Hornet — platforms like the Ruger 77/22 Hornet, CZ 527, and Thompson/Center Contender barrels. Varmint shooters working prairie dog towns benefit from the combination of moderate recoil, flat trajectory, and explosive terminal effect. Fur trappers targeting fox and bobcat at close range appreciate the rapid expansion that anchors animals without through-and-through pelt damage. Reloaders gain once-fired Winchester brass with consistent neck tension and primer pockets that seat uniformly across multiple firings.
