The .22 Hornet is a small centrefire cartridge built for varmint and pest control, valued for its low report and light recoil compared with larger centrefire rounds. It's a long-standing choice for foxing and rabbit control at moderate range, and a popular option among shooters who reload their own brass.
Factory 22 Hornet loads on the UK market span V-Max, soft-point and full metal jacket bullets, generally in the 35 to 45 grain range, so check bullet type and grain weight against your rifle's preferred load before ordering. As a specialist varmint calibre, 22 Hornet sits alongside less common cartridges in our range rather than mainstream options like .223 Rem or .308 Win, so stock can turn over less frequently. If you shoot a different centrefire rifle, our full centrefire ammunition range covers over 30 calibres from 204 Ruger to 9.3x62.
Factory loads are typically found in 35 to 45 grain, with V-Max, soft-point and FMJ bullet options. Check the specific grain weight and bullet type on each product before ordering, as availability varies by batch.
