22 Hornet – 45 Gr SP – Winchester Super-X (X22H1) – 500 Rounds

Want a classic American 22 Hornet varmint load in bulk? Pick up this 500 round case of Winchester Super-X X22H1 22 Hornet 45 grain soft point ammo.

The Winchester Super-X line has been a staple on farms and ranches for generations, and this Hornet load is a big reason why. It uses a 45 grain jacketed soft point bullet. The exposed lead tip expands quickly on small animals, delivering humane kills on groundhogs, prairie dogs, jackrabbits, foxes, and coyotes. The jacket helps control that expansion for enough penetration on larger predators. Winchester rates this load at 2,690 fps and 723 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, which is noticeably faster than many imported 45 grain Hornet loads. More speed means a flatter trajectory and easier hits at 150 to 200 yards.

The 22 Hornet dates back to the 1930s and was one of the first commercial small-caliber centerfire varmint cartridges. It is quiet, has almost no recoil, and is easy on barrels, which makes it ideal for farm pest control and small predators out to about 200 yards. It is chambered in rifles like the CZ 527, Ruger 77/22 Hornet, Savage Model 25, Mossberg, and many break-action and single-shot guns, including the Thompson/Center Contender and Encore. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a 500 round case lets you zero, practice, and hunt all year without switching loads. Winchester is also one of the few domestic makers that still loads the 22 Hornet, so buying in bulk protects you from the frequent shortages this caliber sees.

This American-made Winchester ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable. Each box holds 50 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 500 round case. Store the extra boxes in a cool, dry place and they will stay ready for many seasons of varmint hunting.
