The Remington Golden Bullet 22LR delivers consistent performance for target shooting and small game hunting with its 36-grain plated hollow point design. This rimfire ammunition combines affordability with reliable ignition, making it a practical choice for high-volume shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
The plated hollow point bullet construction provides controlled expansion while maintaining structural integrity during feeding and firing. Unlike standard lead round nose bullets, the hollow point design creates a larger wound channel for improved terminal performance on small game. The copper plating reduces barrel leading and extends cleaning intervals compared to unplated lead bullets.
Key Features

This ammunition performs effectively in both semi-automatic rifles and revolvers, cycling reliably through popular platforms like the Ruger 10/22 and Smith & Wesson revolvers. The hollow point design makes it suitable for pest control and small game hunting within appropriate range limitations. Temperature stability ensures consistent performance across seasonal conditions, while the plated bullet construction maintains accuracy through extended shooting sessions.
