Federal 712 22LR ammunition in 38-grain copper-plated round nose loads come in convenient 50-round boxes, and you can stock up economically with the 100-case option.

The 38-grain copper-plated projectile is a proven design—the round nose profile feeds reliably through most .22 rifles and pistols, and the plating reduces fouling compared to bare lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Federal 712 22LR ammo feed reliably in my .22 rifle or pistol?
The round nose profile is one of the most compatible bullet shapes for .22 firearms. These load and feed smoothly in the vast majority of rimfire rifles and handguns, though as with any ammunition, a test mag or two before committing to bulk quantity is always smart practice.
What's the advantage of copper plating on a .22 rimfire bullet?
Copper plating reduces lead fouling in the barrel and chamber compared to bare lead rounds. It doesn't dramatically change performance, but it does make cleaning easier and helps protect your bore over high-round-count shooting sessions.
Is this ammunition suitable for small-game hunting?
Yes, 38-grain .22 LR ammunition is widely used for hunting small game and varmint control. Federal 712 is a practical choice for that purpose, though specific effectiveness depends on distance, target, and shot placement—standard hunting precautions always apply.
What does the 100-case option include?
The 100-case purchase is 100 boxes of 50 rounds each, totaling 5,000 rounds of ammunition. It's designed for shooters with high volume needs who prefer to buy and store in bulk.
