The Hornady 0.224 ELD-VT 62 grain bullet, cataloged under #22762, is designed for varmint and target shooting enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance and precision. This bullet features the patented ELD-VT (Extremely Low Drag – Varmint Target) tip, optimizing its aerodynamic profile for flat trajectories and tight groups at extended ranges. The projectile’s secant ogive shape and boat tail base further reduce drag, making it ideal for competitive shooting and long-range varmint control. Constructed with a traditional lead core and copper jacket, the 62 grain ELD-VT is not lead-free, thus may not be suitable for hunting in lead-restricted zones. Its balance of weight, advanced polymer tip, and engineered ballistics make it the perfect choice for dispatching coyotes, prairie dogs, and other small to medium varmints, as well as for those seeking consistent, match-grade accuracy at varied distances. With its proven design and Hornady’s renowned quality, the #22762 bullet is an excellent selection for shooters demanding both performance and reliability.
