The .224 Weatherby Magnum is one of the fastest .22 caliber cartridges ever released in a factory rifle, and this load delivers all the performance you'd expect. Loaded with a 55-grain Hornady Interlock Spire Point bullet, you get a muzzle velocity of 3650 fps and 1627 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from the factory. That's the kind of flat trajectory and downrange punch that makes this round a standout choice for anyone serious about long-range varmint hunting or small game work. The Hornady Interlock design brings reliable controlled expansion with excellent penetration, thanks to its secant ogive profile that ranks among the most ballistically efficient designs ever developed.
Weatherbys commitment to this ammunition shows in every detail. You get boxer-primed brass casings that are fully reloadable, so if you reload, you're getting quality components you can use again. The cartridge holds less powder than many comparable rounds but delivers performance right alongside the popular .22-250 Remington. That means respectable barrel life paired with genuine velocity and accuracy. This is the kind of efficiency Roy Weatherby built this cartridge around back in 1963.
The 55-grain Spire Point performs best at what it was designed for long-range work on coyotes, prairie dogs, and similar game. The exposed lead tip and InterLock core design work together for predictable expansion and retained energy downrange. This round excels in the hands of someone who understands varmint shooting and takes time to range their targets properly.
Weatherbys Select Plus line represents the kind of ammunition built with the same care you'd put into a handload. Consistent components, tight tolerances, and quality control at every step.
The .224 Weatherby Magnum is a proprietary cartridge chambered primarily in Weatherby rifles, particularly the recently reintroduced Mark V Varmintmaster. If you own a Weatherby rifle in this caliber, youre all set. Since its a specialized chambering, availability is limited to Weatherby firearms, which is worth keeping in mind if youre shopping for a rifle to match this ammunition.
Yes, the brass cases are fully reloadable and made to quality standards. The .224 Weatherby uses standard .224-inch diameter bullets and large rifle primers, so once you have the brass, you can source common components. Reloaders appreciate the efficiency of this cartridge, as it delivers performance comparable to the .22-250 Remington while using less powder.
This load performs best for long-range varmint work, typically excelling out to 300+ yards depending on your rifle and skill level. The flat trajectory and high velocity keep the bullet stable at distance, making it excellent for coyotes and prairie dogs. Close-range performance on small game is fine, but the real strength of the .224 Weatherby Magnum lies in its long-range capabilities.
The 55-grain Spire Point strikes a balance for general varmint hunting. Its at the upper end of the practical range for velocity and accuracy in standard Weatherby barrels, offering reliable expansion while maintaining the flat trajectory the cartridge is known for. If youre looking for maximum velocity, lighter bullets like the 50-grain round, but the 55-grain hits that sweet spot for most varmint hunters.
