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.
22 WMR - 25 Grain NTX - Winchester Varmint LF - 50 Rounds
This 22 WMR cartridge by Winchester is good for the planet, but not exactly nice to varmints like prairie dogs and woodchucks. That’s because it’s loaded with a 25 grain NTX projectile! The NTX is totally devoid of lead. If you’re headed out to do some shooting where toxic projectiles are banned, the NTX isn’t going to get you the wrong kind of attention. The NTX has an extremely concentric Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket and frangible copper alloy core, as well as a sharp polymer tip that markedly improves its ballistic coefficient. If the bullet collides with a varmint at the end of its flat trajectory, its tip will ram inward to build up great energy before connecting with the base of its nose cavity. You can imagine what happens next – KABLAMMO! Explosive fragmentation followed immediately by the demise of said varmint. “Quick and painless” doesn’t do the NTX’s terminal effect justice. Winchester gives Hornady’s NTX the top shelf brass, clean burning propellant, and non-corrosive rimfire primer it needs to deliver all its might. If you can see it, you can shoot it with this round’s 2,100 fps muzzle velocity!
