Winchester Ammo W22MST Silvertip22 Mag 40 gr Silvertip Hollow Point 50 Bx/ 20 Cs

Winchester Ammo W22MST Silvertip 22 Mag ammunition delivers proven defensive performance in a rimfire round optimized for handguns and compact firearms. The 40-grain Silvertip hollow point design combines Winchester's decades of ballistic engineering with a jacketed construction engineered to expand reliably on impact. Whether you're carrying a .22 Magnum revolver for backup or personal protection, or stocking defensive ammo for a rimfire rifle, this load is built to perform when it counts.

The Silvertip hollow point cavity initiates consistent expansion while the jacket ensures adequate penetration through intermediate barriers. Winchester's custom powder formula is tuned specifically for the shorter barrel lengths common in .22 Magnum handguns, generating optimal velocity and energy transfer from your firearm. This isn't plinking ammunition—it's a purpose-built defensive cartridge that respects the ballistic limitations of rimfire while maximizing what the .22 Mag can deliver.

You receive 50 rounds per box, with 20 boxes per case (1,000 rounds total), making it practical for both personal defense and dedicated training. Winchester's quality control and consistent manufacturing mean you can rely on round-to-round performance. The Silvertip name carries serious credibility in the defensive ammunition space, and this rimfire offering extends that heritage to .22 Magnum shooters who understand the cartridge's role in a layered security approach.
