Speer Varmint 22Cal 55gr Jacketed Soft Point, 100

Speer Varmint Soft Point 55-grain bullets are engineered for hunters who require precision and controlled terminal effects. Unlike highly fragmenting hollow points, the jacketed soft point design is specifically intended to provide reliable expansion while staying together well enough to minimize excessive damage to pelts. The aerodynamic Spitzer profile ensures a flatter trajectory, making it an excellent choice for mid-range varmint control. As one of the most common weights for .22 caliber rifles, these 55-grain bullets offer easy load development and consistent performance across a variety of twist rates, making them a staple for high-volume small game hunters. Defensive Application These soft point bullets provide reliable expansion and significant energy transfer. While they are more robust than fragmenting varmint rounds, they lack the molecular bonding of dedicated defensive projectiles and carry a moderate over-penetration risk compared to hollow points.
