Winchester Super X 22 Hornet Ammo 46 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point 200 rounds – Fast Ship

If you’ve been around the Hornet cartridge long enough, you know the difference between ammo that just goes bang and ammo that delivers consistent, predictable performance. The .22 Hornet is a classic varmint and small game round that demands precision from its components. It’s not a caliber you feed bulk-pack plinking ammo. You need a load engineered for its specific chamber pressures and twist rates, something built with the kind of attention to detail that Winchester brings to its Super X line. This isn’t just ammunition; it’s a system—a 46-grain jacketed hollow point projectile, a specific powder charge, and a reliable primer, all harmonized to work in your rifle. When I pull a box of this off the shelf, I’m looking at a tool for a specific job, and the specs tell the story before the first round is ever chambered.

Miamishooterssupply is a Boise, ID-based retailer specializing in firearms, ammunition, and gunsmithing supplies for the serious enthusiast. The Winchester Super X 22 Hornet Ammo 46 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point 200-round case is a factory-loaded, high-quality centerfire cartridge designed for consistent varmint control and small game hunting. Its jacketed hollow point construction offers reliable expansion at Hornet velocities. This case is in stock and ready for same-day shipping at $160.00.

What You’re Getting with Winchester Super X 22 Hornet

Let’s break down what makes this 200-round case a solid choice for your rifle. The core of this load is the 46-grain jacketed hollow point (JHP). This weight is a sweet spot for the .22 Hornet, balancing velocity with stability. The jacket is a gliding metal (typically a copper alloy) over a lead core, which controls fragmentation and promotes a predictable mushrooming effect upon impact. This is crucial for a round like the Hornet, where energy transfer needs to be efficient for clean, ethical takedowns on varmints like prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and foxes. From a gunsmith’s perspective, I appreciate that Winchester uses clean-burning powders in their Super X line. Consistent ignition and minimal residue mean less fouling in your chamber and bore, which translates to easier cleaning and more consistent point of impact over a long shooting session.

The “Fast Ship” part of our listing isn’t a marketing gimmick; it’s our operational standard. When you order this case, it’s pulled from our Boise warehouse inventory, packed, and labeled the same day. We understand that when you need ammo, you often need it for a planned trip or to zero a rifle, and waiting isn’t an option. The 200-round quantity is practical. It’s enough to properly zero your scope, confirm drops at various distances, and still have a substantial amount left for the field, without the bulk and investment of a 500 or 1000-round case. For the DIY handloader, this also serves as an excellent source of high-quality, reloadable brass.

Features & Performance Breakdown

The hallmark of any Super X load is consistency. In my experience handling and testing various lots, the overall length (OAL), powder charge, and primer seating on these rounds show very tight tolerances. This manufacturing precision is what gives you those tight groups. The hollow point design isn’t overly aggressive; it’s designed to open reliably at the .22 Hornet’s moderate velocities (typically around 2,600-2,700 fps), unlike some hyper-velocity .22 WMR hollow points that can be erratic.

From a retail and ballistics standpoint, the 46-grain JHP offers a flatter trajectory than heavier bullets, extending your effective range on smaller targets. The brass casing is fully reloadable and features a clear headstamp. I’ve reloaded this brass multiple times with excellent results—the primer pockets stay tight, and the case walls are uniform. The packaging is a simple but sturdy 200-round cardboard case, which I prefer for storage over plastic ammo cans that can sometimes warp or crack.

Pros and Cons: An Honest Assessment

✅ Consistent Factory Load: Winchester’s quality control delivers reliable velocity and point of impact, shot after shot. You’re not guessing.
✅ Optimal Bullet Design: The 46-grain JHP is engineered for the Hornet’s ballistics, providing effective expansion without excessive fragmentation.
✅ Reloadable Brass: The brass cases are high-quality and perfect for handloaders looking to build precision rounds or practice loads.
✅ Practical Quantity: 200 rounds is the ideal amount for zeroing, practice, and a serious varminting outing.
✅ Fast, Discreet Shipping: Our same-day shipping from Boise in non-descriptive packaging gets you what you need without delay or attention.

❌ Premium Price Point: At $160 per 200 rounds, this is not budget plinking ammo. You’re paying for the Winchester name and proven consistency.
❌ Not a “Hot” Load: Some handloaders or those with older, strong-action rifles might seek maximum velocity. This is a standard, safe-pressure factory load. For those seeking higher-performance handloads, check our reloading components.
❌ Limited Application: This is a dedicated varmint/small game round. It is not suitable for larger game or long-range target shooting. For other centerfire applications, see our full ammunition selection.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This Ammo

Buy it if: You own a .22 Hornet rifle (like a Ruger No. 1, CZ 527, or vintage Winchester) and want reliable, off-the-shelf ammo for varmint control. You’re a handloader who values a supply of quality brass. You prioritize shot-to-shot consistency over the absolute lowest cost per round. You need ammo shipped quickly and discreetly for an upcoming trip.

Skip it if: You are on an extremely tight budget and are willing to accept potential variance in performance from less expensive brands. You are looking for the absolute highest-velocity .22 Hornet load possible (you’ll need to handload). Your primary use is punching paper at 100 yards and you want the cheapest possible ammo. You need ammunition for a centerfire rifle in a different caliber.

Technical Specifications

Material & Quality	Consistent brass, clean-burning powder, reliable JHP.	Variable brass quality, often dirtier powder, bullet construction can be inconsistent.	Match-grade brass, premium projectiles (e.g., V-Max), ultra-consistent.
Compatibility	Designed for all modern .22 Hornet rifles.	May have dimensional variances that cause feed issues in some firearms.	Often optimized for specific twist rates or chamber specs.
Shipping Speed	Same-day shipping from Miamishooterssupply.	Often drop-shipped with longer lead times.	Frequently on backorder or special order only.
Lifespan / Reloadability	Excellent reloadable brass, good for 5+ reloads with care.	Brass may be brittle or have soft primer pockets, limiting reloads.	Superb brass designed for maximum reload life.
Price Point	$160 / 200 rounds ($0.80/rd) – Balanced value.	~$150 / 200 rounds ($0.75/rd) – Lower upfront, potential hidden costs.	~$250+ / 200 rounds ($1.25+/rd) – Top-tier performance price.

The Winchester Super X sits in the ideal middle ground. It’s significantly more reliable and better-made than the cheapest imports, avoiding the frustration of misfires or flyers. While it doesn’t have the laser-like precision of the ultra-premium niche ammo, it delivers 95% of the field performance for varminting at a much more accessible price per round, especially in this 200-round case format.
