Winchester X22MHLF 22WMR 25gr Polymer Tip NTX Lead-Free Ammo 50rd

Winchester's X22MHLF Varmint LF ammunition delivers precision terminal performance for hunters demanding lead-free compliance without sacrificing accuracy. This 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire load features a 25-grain polymer-tipped NTX bullet engineered for consistent expansion and clean kills on small game and varmints.

What Makes This Different

The NTX (Non-Toxic eXpanding) bullet construction eliminates lead while maintaining the ballistic coefficient and expansion characteristics hunters expect from premium varmint ammunition. Winchester's proprietary polymer tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact, creating larger wound channels than traditional hollow point designs. The copper-alloy bullet construction meets California's lead-free hunting requirements and similar regulations across multiple states.

Key Features

• 25-grain polymer-tipped NTX bullet for controlled expansion
• Lead-free copper alloy construction meets hunting regulations
• 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire chambering for flat trajectory
• Muzzle velocity approximately 2,200 feet per second
• 50 rounds per box packaging for extended shooting sessions
• Consistent powder charges for shot-to-shot reliability
• Brass cases suitable for reloading applications

Field testing demonstrates effective expansion on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized targets at ranges extending to 125 yards. The polymer tip design maintains bullet integrity during magazine feeding while ensuring reliable ignition of the expansion process. Accuracy testing in quality bolt-action rifles typically produces groups under 1.5 inches at 100 yards, making this load suitable for precision varmint work where shot placement matters.
