When you're loading for varmints but want something that balances knockdown power with pelt preservation, these Speer Varmint Soft Points fill that niche. The 45-grain weight suits fast-twist .22-caliber rifles beautifully, and the Spitzer tip keeps your shots tight downrange. Unlike hollow points that can blow apart on impact, the soft point design expands in a controlled manner that typically leaves the hide in better shape if you're planning to sell furs or care about preserving game.
These bullets penetrate deeper than comparable hollow points while still delivering impressive expansion. The soft nose expands quickly when it enters a target, but the controlled nature of the design means you're not dealing with the explosive fragmentation you'd get from some other options. That makes them workable for coyotes, foxes, and other furbearing predators where pelt damage directly impacts your bottom line.
Speer built these with thicker-than-average copper jackets for a .22-caliber bullet, which helps them handle faster twist rates without separation issues. The ballistic coefficient sits at .167 and sectional density at .128, giving you the speed you need from fast powders while maintaining decent downrange velocity. The 0.57-inch length allows you to seat them properly in common .22-caliber brass without excessive magazine pressure or magazine interference.
At the range, these tend to group well from bolt-action rifles. People reload them repeatedly because the exposed soft point doesn't deform sitting in a magazine, and they stay consistent batch to batch. You'll see them recommended for everything from .223 Remington to 22-250, making them genuinely versatile for anyone with multiple .22-caliber rifles.
No, these are component bullets only. They're designed for handloaders who want to assemble their own complete cartridges using these projectiles, primers, powder, and brass. This gives you control over velocity and performance tuning for your specific rifle.
Yes. The .224 diameter works across most common .22-caliber cartridges including .223 Remington, 22-250, .222 Remington, and similar. The 45-grain weight pairs well with powders suited to varmint work, and the controlled-expansion design will perform on anything from prairie dogs to coyotes.
Soft points penetrate deeper and produce less explosive fragmentation than typical varmint hollow points. They expand in a more controlled manner, which makes them friendlier on pelts if you plan to sell furs. If you're just looking for maximum terminal effect on ground squirrels and prairie dogs, hollow points will do that faster.
The Spitzer (pointed) shape reduces drag, helping the bullet maintain velocity downrange and improving accuracy compared to flat or rounded noses. This matters when you're stretching distance on varmint hunting, as flatter trajectories mean less holdover adjustment and better hits at 200+ yards.
