The Norma 222 Rem 55gr Vermin Xtreme Hp 900pc Ammo Can provides factory centrefire varmint ammunition loaded specifically for pest eradication and predator management. Loaded with a 55-grain (3.6 g) open hollow-point projectile, each round is engineered to achieve an aggressive fragmentation profile and rapid energy transfer upon target impact to limit over-penetration. Manufactured at the Norma facility in Åmotfors, Sweden, this ammunition features reloadable brass cases and a blunt-nose bullet profile optimized for smooth feeding across bolt-action and straight-pull firearm actions. The complete package delivers 900 factory rounds packed into a heavy-duty bulk ammo utility can consisting of nine 100-round internal boxes.

Key Features

• Rapid Fragmentation Hollow Point: Features an aggressive open hollow-point (HP) nose designed for immediate terminal upset, delivering 1,590 Joules of muzzle energy to dispatch small predators instantly.
• High Velocity Trajectory: Produces a factory muzzle velocity of 940 m/s (3,084 fps) and retains 554 m/s and 552 Joules of energy at 200 metres.
• Reloadable Swedish Brass: Loaded with precision-drawn Norma brass cases designed for uniform chamber extraction and extended reloading lifecycles.
• Bulk Utility Packaging: Supplies 900 rounds in a protective ammo container suited for vehicle transport and high-volume seasonal culling operations.

Who is the Norma Vermin Xtreme 222 Rem 55gr Ammo Can for?

• Varmint and Predator Hunters — Requires a 55-grain hollow-point centrefire projectile travelling at 940 m/s to achieve flat trajectories and rapid terminal energy dump when targeting foxes, wild dogs, and feral cats out to a 200-metre operational limit.
• High-Volume Pest Controllers — Relies on a 900-round bulk packaging volume of dedicated .222 Remington centrefire varmint hunting ammunition to sustain extensive rabbit and hare eradication programs without frequent resupply.

Less suitable for: Firearms chambered in .223 Remington (which are not interchangeable with .222 Remington), medium-to-large game such as deer and wild boars requiring deep-penetrating bonded or solid hunting projectiles, or shooting past a practical maximum threshold of approximately 200 metres where higher ballistic coefficient match or heavy-game hunting cartridges are better suited.
