Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM)

The Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM) is a high-volume bullet component engineered for reloaders demanding consistent accuracy, reliable feeding, and cost-effective performance in .22-caliber platforms. Each bullet weighs exactly 55gr and features a .224-inch diameter with a boat-tail hollow point design for improved aerodynamics and terminal consistency. Designed for both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO handloads, the Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM) is an excellent choice for range training, varmint control, or general-purpose tactical use.

At the core of the Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM) is Hornady’s AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket—a precision-drawn copper jacket that eliminates nearly all jacket runout and minimizes wall thickness variation. This design ensures consistent bullet-to-bullet concentricity, superior stability in flight, and predictable downrange accuracy. The AMP jacket offers a structural advantage over plated or generic FMJ bullets, particularly during high-volume firing sessions.

The swaged lead core of the Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM) promotes excellent in-flight balance and consistent terminal behavior across a broad range of velocities. With its boat-tail profile, this bullet maintains a flatter trajectory and improved resistance to wind drift, making it effective at distances beyond typical short-range practice. It performs exceptionally well in semi-auto platforms, including AR-15 rifles, with minimal fouling or deformation even under rapid cycling conditions.

Packaged in bulk OEM configurations—available in 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 6,000 quantities—the Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM) offers tremendous value without sacrificing performance. Reloaders working through thousands of rounds for practice, classes, or extended varmint hunts benefit from a bullet that remains consistent in both form and function from lot to lot.

Manufactured in Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 22 Cal 55gr BTHP (Bulk / OEM) is sold exclusively as a bullet component. It must be paired with suitable brass, powder, and primers for safe and effective use. Backed by Hornady’s tight manufacturing tolerances and proven performance standards, this bullet stands out as a leading option for handloaders who require repeatable precision at scale.
