The Remington Thunderbolt 22LR delivers consistent performance for plinking, small game hunting, and target practice at an economical price point. This high-velocity rimfire ammunition features 40-grain round nose bullets that provide reliable feeding in semi-automatic rifles and pistols.
What Makes This Different
Thunderbolt ammunition utilizes standard velocity loads optimized for accuracy across various barrel lengths. The round nose bullet profile ensures smooth feeding in tubular magazines and semi-automatic actions where pointed bullets can cause feeding issues. Each cartridge produces approximately 1,255 fps muzzle velocity from a 24-inch barrel, delivering consistent ballistics for recreational shooting applications.
Key Features

This ammunition performs well in bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic pistols, and lever-action firearms commonly used for pest control and recreational shooting. The standard velocity loading reduces noise compared to high-velocity alternatives while maintaining sufficient energy for small game hunting within appropriate ranges. The round nose design prevents bullet deformation in tubular magazines during recoil.
