Winchester .22 Long Rifle 36 Grain Copper Plated Hollow Point – 525 Rounds (Box) 22LR525HP

The Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 round box is the classic bulk pack that has been feeding rimfire rifles and plinkers for as long as anyone can remember. Inside are 525 copper plated hollow point cartridges, each leaving the muzzle at 1280 fps with 131 ft/lbs of energy. It is the definition of a shelf staple.

Rimfire shooting is about volume. Nobody drives to the range to fire ten rounds of .22 Long Rifle, they go to shoot until their thumb hurts from loading magazines. A bulk pack is the only sensible way to supply that habit.

Why the Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 pack earns its place

This is a genuine general purpose load. The 36 grain copper plated hollow point is light enough to run fast and soft enough to expand on small game, which makes one box cover plinking, hunting and casual competition. Very few cartridges in any caliber are this flexible.

The copper plating is more useful than it sounds. It reduces the lead fouling that plain lead bullets leave in a bore, and it helps a Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 pack feed smoothly through semi automatic actions that can be fussy about bullet shape. Cleaner running and better feeding is a good combination.

Features of the Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 bulk pack

• Five hundred twenty five rounds per box for genuinely high volume shooting.
• Thirty six grain copper plated hollow point for expansion on small game and reduced fouling.
• 1280 fps muzzle velocity and 131 ft/lbs of muzzle energy in a high velocity rimfire load.
• Reliable feeding in semi automatic rifles and pistols as well as bolt actions and revolvers.
• Made by Winchester, one of the oldest names in American ammunition.

Specifications and what they deliver

Caliber is .22 Long Rifle, bullet weight is 36 grains, bullet type is copper plated hollow point, and the box holds 525 rounds. Muzzle velocity is 1280 fps with 131 ft/lbs of energy. That is standard high velocity rimfire performance from a load with a long track record.

High velocity is what lets the Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 hollow point open on impact instead of behaving like a solid. On squirrels and rabbits that expansion is the difference between a clean harvest and a long tracking job. On paper and steel it simply means a satisfying hit.

Range use, storage and getting the most from a bulk pack

Expect your rifle to have opinions. Rimfire barrels are individuals, and the only way to know how a given load groups in your gun is to shoot it, so spend a box confirming zero and group size before you make assumptions. A bulk pack makes that testing free in practical terms.

Load magazines from the box rather than from a pocket, since grit on a rimfire cartridge is the fastest route to a jam in a semi automatic. Keep your Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 pack closed between range trips and it will stay clean. A simple ammo can handles the job.

Set a few hundred rounds aside for teaching. Nothing builds a new shooter faster than a rifle that does not kick and a supply of ammunition that does not run out, and a Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 pack is exactly that supply. Spend the rounds on somebody new and you will get more back than any paper target could give you.

Rimfire cases cannot be reloaded, which makes proper storage the only maintenance a bulk pack needs. Keep it cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, and it will remain reliable for many years. Heat and humidity are the only real enemies.

Stock several packs at once, because rimfire supply has a history of tightening without warning, and look through the rest of our ammunition selection while you are ordering. A deep rimfire shelf keeps new shooters shooting.

Cheap, accurate and endlessly useful is exactly what a rimfire bulk pack should be, and the Winchester 22LR 36gr 525 box is the benchmark. Put one on the shelf and your rifle will never sit idle for lack of ammunition. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
