Grand Island, NE — Hornady® 22 ARC has been recognized as the Best New Ammunition by the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW).

Hornady received the award on October 15, 2024, at the Annual Appreciation and Caliber Awards during the associations Expo and Annual Meeting.

“We are honored to receive the Caliber Award for Best New Ammunition,” said Renae Waltemath, Hornady Sales Director. “The 22 ARC is an incredibly versatile cartridge and we appreciate the recognition from NASGW,” she added.

The 22 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) brings exceptional power and performance, elegantly packed into a compact cartridge that fits into your AR-15 but is equally at home in a bolt action. By utilizing the new 62 gr. ELD-VT™ bullet, the 22 ARC brings extraordinary performance, that rivals the 22-250, to the AR-15 platform.

The 22 ARC was engineered to use modern, high-BC bullets. Designing the cartridge and chamber in unison provides consistent accuracy, great velocity spreads and an outstanding shooting experience. This cartridge is the result of careful and meticulous design, following the same proven methodology as the highly acclaimed 6mm ARC.
