22 Hornet – 45 Gr SP – PPU (PP22H) – 1000 Rounds

Looking for bulk 22 Hornet ammo for varmints and small game? Pick up this 1000 round case of PPU PP22H 22 Hornet 45 grain soft point ammo from Prvi Partizan. It is one of the most affordable ways to keep a Hornet rifle fed for years.

The 22 Hornet sits in a sweet spot between the 22 WMR and the 223 Remington. It offers real centerfire reach with very little noise and almost no recoil. This PPU load uses a 45 grain soft point bullet with an exposed lead tip. That tip starts expansion quickly on small, thin-skinned animals like groundhogs, prairie dogs, foxes, and coyotes at moderate range. It also limits the risk of ricochet compared with solid bullets. PPU rates this load at 2,430 fps and 590 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 45 grain bullet is the traditional Hornet weight, so it suits most factory barrels and older rifles with slower twist rates.

Prvi Partizan has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928 and is one of the few makers that loads the 22 Hornet in real volume. That matters because Hornet ammo often disappears from shelves for months. The 22 Hornet is chambered in rifles like the CZ 527, Ruger 77/22 Hornet, Savage Model 25, and many single-shot and break-action guns, including the Thompson/Center Contender. It is a favorite for farm and ranch pest control near buildings where a 223 would be too loud. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a full 1000 round case lets you zero, practice, and hunt without ever switching loads.

This imported ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable, which is valuable because new 22 Hornet brass can be hard to find. Each box holds 50 rounds, and twenty boxes make up this 1000 round case. Store the extra boxes in a cool, dry place and you will have Hornet ammo on hand for many seasons.
