The Winchester Ammunition .22 Long Rifle 36 Grain Plated Lead Hollow Point is a versatile rimfire round built for shooters who want reliable performance without compromise. Whether you're zeroing a new .22 rifle, running drills at the range, or taking on small game and varmints, this ammunition delivers the accuracy and consistency Winchester has built its reputation on. The 36-grain projectile strikes a practical balance—light enough for flat trajectories and reduced recoil, but substantial enough to get the job done downrange.
What sets this load apart is the copper-plated construction, which reduces fouling in your barrel and helps keep your rifle cleaner over extended shooting sessions. That matters when you're running bulk quantities through your gun; less buildup means more reliable feeding and fewer cleaning intervals between range days. Winchester packages these rounds in bulk options so you can stock up without breaking the bank—ideal whether you shoot competitively, hunt predators and small game, or simply enjoy an afternoon of plinking.
This is straightforward, no-nonsense ammunition. It's not match-grade precision ammo, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's the kind of .22 LR you grab when you want dependable performance, proven reliability, and the confidence that comes from a century of Winchester ammunition expertise. Available in multiple pack sizes to fit your needs and shooting schedule.

The .22 Long Rifle is one of the most versatile cartridges available. It's ideal for target practice and marksmanship training, small game hunting (squirrels, rabbits, and similar), varmint control, and recreational plinking. Its low recoil and noise make it beginner-friendly and suitable for extended shooting sessions.
Copper plating reduces fouling—the buildup of lead and debris inside your barrel—which helps maintain reliable feeding and cycling, especially when shooting in volume. Less fouling means you can shoot more before cleaning becomes necessary.
The 36-grain hollow point is capable for small game and varmint hunting within typical .22 LR effective ranges, though terminal performance depends on the specific game and shot placement. Many hunters and ranchers use this load for predator control and pest management.
Winchester offers this ammunition in multiple bulk pack options. Check the product listing for current pack size availability—options include 222, 333, or 555 rounds depending on the package selected.
