This .22 Hornet load from Sellier & Bellot pairs a 45-grain semi-jacketed soft point bullet with boxer-primed brass cases, giving you consistent performance through field use. The semi-jacketed design features a lead core with precisely engineered jacket coverage that promotes controlled expansion on impact while maintaining weight retention for deeper penetration.
The semi-jacketed construction puts a bare lead nose on the projectile, which deforms when it contacts your target to create a mushroom-like shape. This expansion pattern works well for varmints and small predators within typical hunting ranges. The carefully balanced jacket helps control that expansion so the round delivers the energy transfer you need without excessive fragmentation.
These rounds come loaded to chamber pressures suitable for most .22 Hornet rifles. The brass cases are non-corrosive and reloadable, so if you get into handloading, you're not throwing away component value. The 45-grain weight is popular in .22 Hornet circles since older rifle designs typically stabilize this bullet weight reliably. You get 20 rounds per box, which is the standard for this caliber.
Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition since the 1820s, and their reputation stems from consistent quality control and high-quality component selection. They manufacture everything in-house using advanced machinery, which means tighter tolerances and fewer reliability issues compared to some budget options. Shooters have reported good accuracy and reliable ignition across calibers from this Czech manufacturer, whether they're using their rifle ammunition for hunting or general field shooting.
The .22 Hornet works well for small game, varmints, predators like foxes and coyotes, and pest control within 300 yards. Its low recoil and relatively mild report make it popular with hunters targeting rabbits, squirrels, and similar small animals. It's too light for deer-sized game, but perfectly adequate for the predator and varmint work it was designed for.
Yes. Sellier & Bellot loads with boxer primers in reloadable brass, so once you fire these rounds, the cases are suitable for handloading if you have the equipment and components. Non-corrosive formulation means the brass won't have primer pocket corrosion or other issues that make reloading difficult.
The 45-grain bullet is one of the most popular .22 Hornet weights, especially for older rifles that may have slower rifling twists. It delivers good downrange energy and penetration compared to lighter 35-grain options, making it the better choice for taking varmints and predators. If your rifle was built more recently, you have flexibility, but 45gr is the reliable middle ground across the .22 Hornet platform.
Sellier & Bellot has nearly 200 years of manufacturing history and uses advanced quality control processes throughout production. Field reports from shooters consistently describe their ammunition as reliable, accurate, and well-made with good component quality. They've built their reputation by maintaining strict tolerances and using high-quality brass and primers.
