The .22 Hornet has been a favorite of hunters and field shooters for nearly a century, and for good reason. It combines mild recoil and a light report with enough velocity to handle small game, varmints, and predators out to practical hunting ranges. This PPU Standard Rifle load pairs a 45 grain soft point bullet with quality brass cases designed for reloading.
What makes PPU ammunition worth considering is the manufacturer's track record. Since 1928, Prvi Partizan has been producing ammunition in Serbia to exacting standards, supplying armed forces and law enforcement while maintaining a reputation for consistency. Their Standard Rifle line is built from quality components with tight tolerances, giving you reliable performance round after round.
At 2430 fps muzzle velocity with 590 ft-lbs of energy, this 45 grain load sits right in the sweet spot for .22 Hornet performance. The soft point bullet design provides controlled expansion for clean, ethical takes on varmints and predators. The reloadable brass cases let you stretch the value of every box if you reload, which many .22 Hornet enthusiasts do. These rounds are non-corrosive and boxer-primed, making cleanup and reload work straightforward.
The .22 Hornet's best work happens inside 150 yards on fox, coyote, groundhog, prairie dog, and other varmints. It's also a solid training cartridge for folks newer to centerfire rifles who want minimal recoil and range time that won't wear you down. Field shooters appreciate that this load delivers the mild characteristics the cartridge is known for, making it pleasant to shoot all day without losing focus or beating yourself up.
Yes. PPU loads are consistently accurate, and the 45 grain soft point tends to perform especially well in quality .22 Hornet rifles like the CZ 527 and Ruger 77/22. The Standard Rifle line is built to tight tolerances using quality components, so you get reliable performance round to round. Many experienced .22 Hornet shooters specifically choose this load when they need dependable accuracy in the field.
Absolutely. These come in reloadable boxer-primed brass cases, making them appealing if you reload. The brass quality is decent, though some experienced reloaders note the cases may only take one or two reloads before they show wear. If you hand load, consult a reputable manual for load data, and consider that many .22 Hornet shooters get excellent results with Hodgdon Lil'Gun or H110 powder.
This load excels on varmints and predators like fox, coyote, groundhog, and prairie dog within about 150 yards. The soft point bullet provides controlled expansion for clean, humane kills on these smaller targets. It's not designed for deer or larger game, but it's excellent for the varmint work the .22 Hornet was built for, and it also works well for range training and general field use.
PPU's 2430 fps velocity is moderate for the .22 Hornet compared to some faster loads available, but moderate velocities in this cartridge often deliver better accuracy than maximum loads. The 45 grain soft point is one of the most popular .22 Hornet weights for hunters, and PPU's standard manufacturing means you get consistent performance without overstressing the cartridge or your rifle.
