Winchester WW22LRJUG 22LR DP WILDCAT JUG 40GR 1500/3

Winchester Wildcat 22LR ammunition in bulk jug configuration is a trusted rimfire choice for hunters and shooters who need reliable small-game loads without breaking the bank. This 1500-round jug delivers 40-grain copper-plated hollow-point bullets at 1255 feet per second, offering consistent performance whether you're hunting rabbits and squirrels in the field or putting in volume at the range. Winchester's decades of rimfire expertise show in every round: uniform powder charges, precise bullet dimensions, and dependable priming combine to deliver shot-to-shot consistency that keeps you confident downrange.

The copper-plated construction and clean-burning powder help keep your rifle's action cleaner during extended shooting sessions, reducing fouling and supporting reliable function through thousands of rounds. At 140 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, these supersonic rounds pack enough punch for effective small-game work while remaining hearing-safe with subsonic-capable firearms when needed. Non-corrosive primers and new production standards mean you're shooting ammunition built to modern specs, not surplus stock or reloads.

Buying in bulk jug quantities makes sense if you're serious about plinking, pest control, or training. Rather than juggling multiple boxes, you get 1500 rounds in one container, ready to feed your 22 rifle for weeks of shooting. Winchester Wildcat has earned its reputation since 1971 for being the working shooter's rimfire—no frills, no premium price tag, just honest performance when you need it.
