3500 Rounds of 40gr LRN .22 LR Ammo by Remington

The .22LR actually has a rather lengthy history stretching back to 1845 and the creation of the Flobert BB Cap. From those humble beginnings the .22LR eventually resulted, with a few stops along the way including the creation of the Smith Wesson .22 of 1857 and the .22 Long and .22 Extra Long. The .22LR itself was designed in 1887 by the J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company. It became immediately popular for both rifles and pistols and has some unique features such as its heeled bullet: because the bullet is the same diameter as the case, the heel of the bullet is narrowed slightly to fit inside the case securely. Fans of the .22LR know it’s a fun and addictive round, and that means you’re going to need as much ammo as you can get your gun-loving hands on.

These particular .22LR rounds are made by Remington, a company whose own history extends back even farther than this cartridge can trace its roots. Remington was founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington, and for 200 years they’ve been coming up with new and innovative ways to not only meet but surpass the needs of gun owners. Today they have six locations across the South and on the east coast, and each facility has a specific job. They’re the biggest and oldest constantly operating firearms and ammunition company in the U.S., and their reputation is solid.

At 40 grain these are both lightweight and within the standard weight range for the cartridge size. Being light gives these rounds the ability to travel to your target at greater speeds and also helps preserve the low recoil you enjoy. These are Lead Round Nose (LRN) rounds and although the lead may deform in impact, it shouldn’t be mistaken for expansion. Each of these rounds leaves the barrel of your gun with a muzzle velocity of 1255 feet per second and muzzle energy of 140 foot-pounds. This ammunition is ideal for target practice and plinking. There are 3500 rounds in the box, which is pretty amazing. You’ll be set for awhile. Remington manufactures ammunition at their factory in Lonoke, Arkansas.
