Match Heritage, Hunting Purpose

ELEY is best known for its Tenex and Match target rounds, used by Olympic and world championship shooters. The High Velocity Hollow takes that same attention to priming, case consistency and bullet seating and applies it to a hunting projectile. The result is a hollow point that groups tighter than many bulk hunting loads, which matters when your target is the size of a squirrel’s head.

The 38 grain hollow point opens rapidly on soft tissue, transferring energy fast and reducing the chance of a wounded animal running off. Because the bullet is lighter than standard 40 grain loads, it leaves the barrel quicker and carries a flatter path out to typical rimfire hunting distances.

ELEY notes greater internal ballistic consistency in this load, meaning shot to shot pressure and speed stay tight. That consistency shows up as smaller vertical spread on the target at 50 yards and beyond.

Field Notes and Hunting Tips

Zero your rifle with Eley High Velocity 22LR 38gr HP ammo at the distance you hunt most, often 25 to 50 yards for squirrels and rabbits. High velocity hollow points usually shoot to a different point of impact than standard velocity target ammo, so do not assume your target zero carries over.

Aim for the head or heart and lung area for quick, humane kills. The fast expanding hollow point is well suited to small animals, but it is not intended for larger predators such as coyotes, where a heavier centerfire round is the better choice.

The paraffin wax lube keeps semi-auto actions like the Ruger 10/22 and Marlin Model 60 running smoothly. Clean the bolt face and chamber after long sessions to keep feeding reliable, and always confirm your backstop before taking a shot in the field.

If you want hunting ammo that groups like target ammo, Eley High Velocity 22LR 38gr HP is a dependable pick for squirrels, rabbits and pest control. Pair it with a sturdy ammo box and a good rimfire cleaner to keep your rifle in top shape all season.

Rimfire rounds can vary from lot to lot, so once you find a box that groups well in your rifle, note the lot number and buy a few more from the same run. Hunters who switch between several rimfire rifles should check zero with each one, since barrel length and chamber dimensions affect both velocity and point of impact.

Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. Rimfire priming is sensitive to moisture and heat, and proper storage keeps every round firing reliably when you need it in the field.
