The Hornady 22 Cal .224 55 gr FMJ-BT Bulk Pack provides high-volume reloaders with 6,000 loose, unprimed rifle projectiles designed for cost-effective target and practical training ammunition. Engineered with Hornady’s Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jacket technology, these bullets offer virtually zero wall thickness variation and tight concentricity tolerances to maintain structural integrity. The 55-grain profile incorporates a tapered boat tail base to minimize aerodynamic drag, while an integrated serrated cannelure allows for secure roll- or taper-crimping, ensuring reliable cycling and consistent overall cartridge length across magazine-fed and bolt-action platforms.

Key Features

• AMP Jacket Construction: Utilises Hornady's Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket to deliver uniform wall thickness and concentricity, preventing jacket separation during flight.
• Boat Tail Profile: Features a tapered boat tail design yielding a 0.243 G1 ballistic coefficient for flat trajectories across short-to-medium target distances.
• Serrated Cannelure: Accommodates uniform crimping to prevent bullet setback during cycling in semi-automatic or magazine-fed rifle systems.
• Broad Platform Compatibility: Standard 0.224-inch diameter interfaces seamlessly with common barrel twist rates including 1:7", 1:8", 1:9", and 1:12".
• Commercial Bulk Quantity: Packaged in a 6,000-count case weighing approximately 21.9 kg, facilitating continuous reloading runs without frequent lot changes.

Who is the Hornady 22 Cal 55 Gr FMJ-BT Bulk Pack 6000 Rounds for?

• High-volume rifle trainers — Requires mass-produced ammunition components that feed reliably, utilizing this 6,000-count bulk pack of 55-grain, .224-inch projectiles to load extensive training stocks for .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO platforms.
• Competitive practical shooters — Needs uniform, cost-efficient projectiles for short-to-medium course stages, leveraging the 0.243 G1 ballistic coefficient of these Hornady reloading bullets for consistent target engagement out to 300 metres.

Less suitable for: Target engagements exceeding 300 to 400 metres where the 0.243 G1 ballistic coefficient is prone to excessive wind drift (a heavier match bullet such as a 69-grain to 80-grain HPBT fits better), or medium-to-large game hunting where non-expanding FMJ profiles are unsuitable (a rapid-expanding polymer-tipped or controlled-expansion soft-point hunting projectile fits better).
