Winchester Target & Small Game Rimfire Ammunition .22 LR 36gr PHP 1280 fps 1000/ct

Winchester's .22 LR rimfire ammunition is built for shooters who want dependable performance without the premium price tag. The 36-grain copper-plated hollow point round travels at 1280 fps and strikes a practical balance between target work and small game hunting—ideal for backyard plinking, varmint control, or zeroing rimfire rifles and pistols. The 1000-round bulk pack makes it easy to stock up and keep your shooting habits consistent without frequent reorders.

The copper-plated hollow point design expands reliably on impact, giving you the stopping power you need for rabbits, squirrels, and other small game while maintaining the accuracy standards you'd expect from Winchester. These rounds cycle cleanly through semi-auto and bolt-action rimfire firearms, and their clean-burning formula keeps your action and bore in good shape during longer range sessions.

If you're serious about .22 LR shooting—whether that's high-volume target practice, small game seasons, or training with a rimfire platform—bulk ammunition buys make financial sense. Winchester's long track record in ammunition manufacturing means you're getting consistency from round to round, which matters when you're working on marksmanship or relying on a rimfire for pest control.
