Now’s your chance to be a big shot! With the little 22 LR cartridge, that is. Federal’s Champion line of rimfire ammunition is great for plinking, training, target shooting, friendly games of skill, and even the occasional squirrel who (very wrongly) thought your yard would be a cool place to hang out in for a bit.

This cartridge features the most basic type of projectile possible: the lead round nose. The solid lead LRN is economical, yet also accurate courtesy of its streamlined nose profile (which also happens to inflict good energy on impact). This bullet can’t expand without a hollow point, but 40 grains of supersonic lead can still kill the smallest game without any trouble. Its lack of any copper maks the LRN pleasantly economical – if you’re a high-volume shooter, nothing’s holding you back now!

Champion cartridges achieve even greater reliability and accuracy courtesy of their uniform brass cases, primers and powder charges. This is a high-velocity round, too, so it’ll cycle a semi-auto before it continues to exhibit a predictably level trajectory.
