The Remington Golden Hunter R21253 delivers consistent terminal performance for small game hunting and pest control applications. This 22 Long Rifle ammunition features a 40-grain plated hollow point bullet engineered for reliable expansion and clean kills on rabbits, squirrels, and varmints.

The electroplated bullet coating reduces barrel fouling while maintaining accuracy across extended shooting sessions. This bulk packaging delivers 550 rounds per box, offering substantial cost savings over smaller quantities.
