The HSM 22354N Varmint in 223 Remington with a 54gr Sierra BlitzKing bullet is a straight-talking choice for hunters and shooters who demand flat trajectories and consistent terminal performance, and HSM Varmint loads employ the same degree of engineering thoroughness as their Match line to keep accuracy at the apex of consideration; with a listed muzzle velocity of 3120 fps and muzzle energy around 1189 ft-lbs this round gives the sectional density and ballistic coefficient hunters want for prairie dogs, coyotes, and other small to medium varmints at extended ranges, while the brass casing and HazAir compliance make it suitable for regular range use and safe storage logistics, and shooters will appreciate the Sierra BlitzKings proven hollow-point design that produces rapid expansion and controlled penetration in lightweight bullets tuned to the .223 Remington cartridge, making it a top pick for varmint control, pest management, and target work where precise shot placement and predictable downrange performance matter.
