Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady 22 ARC Ammo for Sale
Is .22 ARC ammo worth buying?
Worth buying depends on your needs. The .22 ARC offers low recoil, excellent barrel life, and minimal wind drift with VLD bullets. Ammo runs around $27 per box, available in six variants across multiple retailers. Best suited for hunters and precision shooters using AR or bolt-action rifles.
What is the best bullet weight for a 22 arc?
Hornady designed the .22 ARC around 62–90 grain bullets. The 62-grain ELD-VT suits varmint hunting, while 75–90 grain bullets work best for long-range precision shooting. Your rifle's twist rate and intended use ultimately determine the right choice.
Is a 22 arc good for deer?
Yes, .22 ARC works for deer hunting. Factory 80-grain ELD-X loads deliver sufficient energy and penetration for whitetail-sized game. Low recoil aids accuracy. Most effective within 300 yards. Not recommended for larger deer species or elk.
How far can a 22 arc shoot accurately?
The .22 ARC maintains supersonic flight often beyond 800-900 yards with match-grade ammunition and retains meaningful energy at 800 yards. It outperforms .223 Remington in trajectory, though the .22 Creedmoor surpasses it at range. For hunting, effective range is typically 300 yards, varying with bullet weight and shooter ability.
What is the drop of a 22 arc at 500 yards?
Zeroed at 100 yards, a 75-grain .22 ARC bullet drops approximately 20 inches at 500 yards. Exact figures vary by bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and atmospheric conditions, so consulting a ballistic calculator with your specific load data will give the most accurate result.
What are the cons of using a .22 arc?
Primary drawback is limited energy for larger game beyond 300 yards. Ammunition selection is narrower than established cartridges like .223 Remington. Rifle and barrel options are fewer than long-proven cartridges. The recoil advantage matters less for experienced shooters.
What is the best distance to zero a 22 arc rifle?
Most precision .22 ARC shooters zero at 100 yards. For a point-blank zero suited to hunting, 50 yards works well. Match shooters should zero at their competition distance. Use a ballistic calculator with your specific load data to determine the most accurate zero for your setup.
What is the best 22 arc ammo?
"Best" depends on your use. For precision shooting and competition, Hornady's 75-grain ELD Match is a strong choice. For hunting, look for dedicated hunting loads rather than match bullets. Factory loads run around $27 per box, with all six variants currently in stock across our marketplace.
