22 LR - 38 Grain CPHP - Aguila - 500 Rounds

Are you traveling to parts unknown to hunt the majestic Rocky Mountain elk, and you would also like ammo that’s also capable of stopping aggressive grizzly bears dead in their tracks? Then you have found the wrong ammo. But if you’re looking forward to hunting the majestic chipmunk or the elusive two-liter bottle, you are going to love this 22 LR ammo by Aguila. This cartridge sports a 38 grain bullet. By shedding a couple grains off the average 22 LR bullet’s weight this round reliably achieves a supersonic muzzle velocity out of a rifle’s barrel, thus serving up the flat trajectory which makes hitting distant targets far easier. The bullet’s copper plating keeps the lead in its core from aggressively fouling your firearm’s barrel. Once the hollow point bullet finds itself plunging into a varmint, it reacts by mushrooming outward. Terminal performance like that could spell the difference between a severely upset rodent and a dead one. Aguila’s Mexican-made ammo is synonymous with reliable rimfire primers. These 500 brass-cased beauts are a great pick for rifles, revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, you name it!

22 LR - 40 Grain LRN - Federal Champion - 800 Rounds

Real shooters will practice their aim on empty bottles, paper targets and squirrels with nothing less than the 700 Nitro Express. But at around $70 per cartridge, firing the 700 Nitro can get a little … well, let’s just say your mortgage lender better have a laid back approach to their business. Smart shooters prefer more economical ammo for plinking and casual varmint hunting. You’re smart, which is why you’ll love this brick of 800 22 LR cartridges by Federal Premium. This round has the elemental 22 LR bullet: the lead round nose. It has no copper plating that increases production costs, is made of solid, uniform lead, sports a ballistically efficient profile, and still delivers a decent amount of impact energy despite being incapable of terminal expansion. This round’s bullet weighs 40 grains – the norm for 22 LR. At that weight the bullet still achieves supersonic velocity out of a muzzle’s rifle, so its trajectory is flat and its chamber pressure is adequate to cycle a semi-auto like the Ruger 10/22 or an AR-15. This ammo’s non-corrosive primers and clean-burning propellant tend to reliable ignition. Its brass cases, which possesses uniform rim thickness, wall concentricity and length, are designed to support smooth feeding and ejection in any firearm. Its bullets have standardized weights for consistent ballistic performance. Federal Premium has operated out of Anoka, Minnesota since Warren G. Harding was in office. They’ve revolutionized a lot about the ammo industry in nearly 100 years, and in that time they’ve mastered the art of creating value without needlessly inflating their production costs.
