Overview
Built for predator and varmint shooting, these 22 caliber hollow point flat base bullets are intended for hunters who want a purpose-driven projectile for small-game control. The scored nose cavity and thin tapered jacket are described as promoting rapid fragmentation on impact, making them a specialized option for high-impact terminal performance. This box contains 100 rounds, with the listed 40-grain version suited to rifles with a 1:14" twist rate or faster. Because the design is focused on this specific role, it is less of an all-around choice and more of a dedicated tool for varmint work.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Available in 40gr and 50gr versions, so the listed ballistics and length vary by load rather than offering a single universal spec.
- The stated twist-rate requirement is 1:14" or faster, which may limit compatibility with slower-twist rifles.
- These are purpose-built hollow point flat base bullets for varmint use, so they are not a general-purpose choice for all shooting applications.
- The product is sold as 100 bullets per box, which may be more than needed for occasional use or load development.
