This .22 Long Rifle ammunition from Federal’s Champion series is an accurate, cost-effective target load well suited to high volume target shooting and hunting. Each cartridge in this box of 525 fires a light 36 grain copper plated hollow point bullet at a high muzzle velocity of 1,260 feet per second. This helps it deliver deadly expansion against squirrels, rabbits, and other small game.
Federal rimfire ammunition is loaded at the company’s 175 acre headquarters and main production plant in Anoka, Minnesota using rimfire-primed brass cases.

I bought some of this ammo from a local sporting goods store to see how it worked in my new Walther P22 before I ordered a case from this website. This ammo will fail to feed in the P22. It doesn’t produce enough pressure to cycle the action completly. I was forced to manually work the action the entire time on the range. I did not purchase this ammo from this site but I use this site to purchase my 40SW ammo so I wanted to give other shoppers before they run into the same problem I did.

I used to only buy this ammo for my 10-22 and MkIII but I started using other ammo this past fall. While I would get 1 or 2 FTF/FTE per 525 box, the other three 22 LR ammo types I tried was much worse. I’m switching back to this stuff as soon as I use up this other ammo. Don’t get me wrong, there’s better stuff out there but for high volume plinking, it’s a good deal. I go through 3-4k rounds a quarter between the kids and I and I typically buy 4200 rounds (8 boxes) at a time.

I have used several types of .22lr and this is the cleanest and most reliable. Only had a couple of bad rounds out of the last couple thousand. I only use this ammo in my guns , love it!!
james –
standard 22lr is not recomended for the p22, it needs the hv 22lr as stated in the manuel. to fire standard 22 lr you need to have the extractor replaced with a aftermarket upgrade, tipical price is about $45 instaled

I logged 11 underpowered rounds in my first 525 round box. They went ‘POP’, not ‘BANG’. All in all, not bad for an inexpensive load. Mind you, I did not say cheap. There is a difference. I will buy more.

I put about 300 rounds through my brand new CMMG AR22 upper this morning. Only one stovepipe (probably weapon related, not an ammo problem). Not one single other failure of any kind. For CMMG products this stuff works great.

Put a whole box of 525 rounds through my Marlin 60 in one sitting with no flaws.

I shoot lots of .22 and this is my absolute favorite ammo. I started using it a long time ago because it was a cheap deal, at the time about $8 for 525 rounds. Turned out though that this ammo out performed almost every other ammo I have tried. I use it in my Ruger Mk 1&3 as well as my Hi- Standard pistol and several different rifles. It is clean, accurate, and dependable with way less FTFs than Remington or Winchester ammo. Love this stuff.

What more can I say? Cheaper than local retailers or gun shows!! Good reliable product! They stand behind the sale!!

I have used this ammo in a Smith&Wesson M&P22. No problems with it. Will continue to buy in the future.

I’ve been searching for bulk ammo since the temp’s got above freezing around here and didn’t have a lot of luck. I managed to find a couple of boxes of this ammo at a local gun store and snatched them up. I’ve only put 30 rounds through my Walther built Colt .22LR M4 style rifle. No failure to feeds; no failure to fire. all 30 rounds were in the black (and I’m not a strong shooter). The rifle tends to be pretty tempermental on feeding so it was important for me to find a round that worked reliably. If there were problems they would have shown up within the first 30 rounds.
Before I found this ammo CCI High Velocity rounds were my go-to ammo. I’ll add these Federal rounds to the short list.
