The Winchester USA 22LR 36gr Copper Plated Hollow Point ammunition delivers consistent accuracy and reliable expansion for small game hunting and pest control applications. This high-volume 333-round box provides exceptional value for shooters who demand quality performance without premium pricing.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's copper plating process creates a harder bullet surface that reduces barrel leading while maintaining consistent velocities shot after shot. The 36-grain hollow point design expands reliably at 22LR velocities, transferring more energy to targets compared to standard solid point rounds. This ammunition achieves velocities of approximately 1,280 fps from rifle-length barrels, making it effective for hunting rabbits, squirrels, and varmints at typical field distances.
Key Features
- 36-grain copper plated hollow point bullets for controlled expansion
- 333 rounds per box for extended shooting sessions
- Consistent powder charges for shot-to-shot accuracy
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Standard velocity loading compatible with all 22LR firearms
- Bulk packaging reduces cost per round significantly
- Non-corrosive primers for reliable ignition
Field testing shows this ammunition groups consistently at 50 yards from quality bolt-action rifles and performs reliably in semi-automatic platforms. The hollow point design proves effective on small game while the copper plating reduces fouling during high-volume shooting sessions. This load functions reliably in both rifle and pistol chambers, making it versatile for training, hunting, and recreational shooting activities.
