5 Rounds of 7/8 ounce Rifled Slug 12ga Ammo by Remington Slugger 1,875 fps

The .22 Short was designed in 1857 by Smith and Wesson. It was originally made as a black powder round using 4 grain of black powder with a 29 grain or 30 grain bullet. Interestingly, this little rimfire was the very first American-made metallic cartridge. It enjoyed a short stretch known as the .22 rimfire before becoming known as the .22 Short after the .22 Long was created in 1871. The .22 Short was meant as a speedy little self-defense round but is mostly used for plinking today. If you have a gun chambered in .22 Short you know how fun it is to shoot and you’re probably looking for a bit box of ammo.

These .22 Short rounds are manufactured by Aguila. At 29 grain these are lightweight overall but within the standard weight range for this particular cartridge size. Being so lightweight is what enables these rounds to travel down-range at such high speeds and also helps keep felt recoil manageable. These are CPRN, Copper-Plated Round Nose, rounds and do not expand on impact. Because they are copper-plated they fire more cleanly than lead-nosed rounds. This ammunition is meant for target practice and plinking.

When you order this big box of ammunition from Aguila you get 500 target rounds. Just think what you can do with that much ammo. You can work on accuracy and grouping, practice shooting with your weaker hand, and run through a number of drills. And when you’re done you’ll still have enough ammo left to knock down some empty soda cans. Each round produces a muzzle velocity of 1090 feet per second and muzzle energy of 104 foot-pounds. Aguila manufactures ammunition at their factory in Mexico according to SAAMI or CIP specifications. Order now for some dedicated trigger time with your .22 Short.
