Hornady 224 60gr SP Varmint Bullets

Hornady 224 60gr SP Varmint Bullets are designed for .224″ calibre varmint hunting. The 60 grain Spire Point uses a lead core and match-grade copper jacket. As a result, it offers rapid expansion and useful downrange performance.

Why Choose the Hornady 60gr SP?

The Hornady 224 60gr SP Varmint is part of Hornady’s Traditional Varmint range. In addition, the 60 grain weight gives the bullet a .171 sectional density. This provides a useful balance of bullet weight and flight performance in suitable .224″ calibre cartridges.

60gr SP Varmint Hunting Performance

The 60gr SP is designed for varmint hunting where rapid expansion is important. Furthermore, Hornady states that its Traditional Varmint bullets provide explosive expansion even at low velocities.

Because of this, the bullet can remain useful when impact speed falls with distance. At the same time, the 60 grain weight and .264 G1 BC provide useful flight performance.

As a result, it can suit hunters targeting jackal and other appropriate varmints with suitable .224″ calibre rifles. However, actual results depend on the rifle, cartridge, load and impact conditions.

Therefore, hunters should confirm accuracy and bullet performance in their own rifle before hunting.
