Sierra 1100 Hornet .223 40-Grain Varminter Bullets

Sierra 1100 Hornet Varminter Bullets

Sierra's 1100 Hornet varminter bullets are purpose-built for shooters who demand quick, clean kills on small game and varmints. These 40-grain soft-point projectiles represent a time-tested design that has proven itself across generations of hunters and target shooters.

Design and Construction

The 1100 features Sierra's traditional round-nose profile with a thin-walled jacket and soft core. This combination delivers several critical advantages:

• Thin jacket construction promotes rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity
• Soft core ensures reliable expansion across a wide velocity range
• Round-nose geometry provides outstanding accuracy, particularly at short to moderate ranges
• Exposed lead at the nose enhances expansion characteristics

Performance Specifications

Caliber: .22 (.223 inch diameter)
Weight: 40 grains
Sectional Density: 0.115
Ballistic Coefficients:

• 0.117 @ 2800 fps and above
• 0.123 between 2800 and 2000 fps
• 0.136 @ 2000 fps and below

Velocity Range and Applications

These bullets are optimized for the 2500 to 2800 fps velocity range typical of the .22 Hornet and .22 K-Hornet cartridges. However, their versatility extends further:

• Hornet cartridges: Ideal primary choice for .22 Hornet and .22 K-Hornet rifles
• Medium-capacity centerfire rifles: Effective in .222 Remington and .223 Remington up to 3500 fps
• Handgun applications: Suitable for centerfire .22 caliber handguns, ranging from varmint-style expansion at Hornet velocities to explosive performance at .223 Remington velocities
• Twist rate compatibility: Excellent choice for rifles with 1x16-inch twist rates requiring shorter bullets for proper stability

Why Choose the 1100

The round-nose design of the 1100 makes it an excellent choice for shooters prioritizing accuracy and reliability. The thin jacket ensures expansion on impact without over-penetration, while the soft core maximizes energy transfer to small targets. Whether you're working varmints at modest velocities or pushing these bullets faster in modern cartridges, the 1100 delivers the performance you expect from Sierra's engineering.
