The Remington Cyclone 22LR delivers reliable expansion and consistent accuracy for small game hunting and pest control applications. This 36-grain hollow point ammunition maximizes energy transfer on impact while maintaining the affordable shooting characteristics that make .22 Long Rifle the most popular rimfire cartridge.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Cyclone line features a specially designed hollow point cavity that promotes controlled expansion at typical .22 LR velocities. The 36-grain bullet weight strikes an optimal balance between velocity and retained energy, outperforming lighter bullets in penetration while expanding more reliably than heavier solid points. Standard velocity loading reduces noise compared to high-velocity alternatives without sacrificing terminal performance on small targets.
Key Features
- 36-grain hollow point bullet optimized for expansion and energy transfer
- Standard velocity loading for reduced noise and consistent cycling
- Clean-burning powder formulation minimizes fouling buildup
- Brass-plated cases for reliable extraction and corrosion resistance
- 50-round boxes with 100 cases per master carton for bulk purchasing
- Compatible with all .22 LR firearms including rifles, pistols, and revolvers
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion in ballistic gelatin at distances from 25 to 100 yards. The hollow point design proves effective on small game including rabbits, squirrels, and prairie dogs while remaining suitable for competitive plinking and training applications. Brass-plated cases extract cleanly from both bolt-action and semi-automatic firearms, reducing malfunctions during extended shooting sessions.
