Browning .22 Long Rifle 36 Grain Copper Plated Hollow Point – 500 Rounds (Box) B19422000

For small game hunters, Browning ammo in .22 Long Rifle 36 grain copper plated hollow point is the load that turns a rimfire rifle into a genuinely effective field gun. Five hundred rounds to the box, 1280 feet per second at the muzzle, and 131 foot pounds of energy behind an expanding bullet. That is a serious combination for rabbits, squirrels, and pests around the property.

Why Browning Ammo Suits the Small Game Hunter

A hollow point in rimfire is not about dramatic terminal effect, it is about humane, decisive results on light game. The 36 grain copper plated hollow point opens reliably at rimfire velocities, transferring energy quickly instead of punching straight through. That is the difference between a clean harvest and a long walk after a wounded animal.

The copper plating serves a practical purpose too, reducing lead fouling in the bore compared with bare lead bullets and improving feeding in semi automatic actions. Combined with brass casings and standard rimfire ignition, it makes for a dependable field load. Browning ammo in this configuration is aimed squarely at hunters rather than casual plinkers.

Browning Ammo Specifications and What They Mean Afield

Caliber is .22 Long Rifle, bullet weight is 36 grains, and bullet type is copper plated hollow point, packed 500 rounds to the box. The lighter 36 grain bullet leaves the muzzle faster than the common 40 grain loads, which flattens trajectory slightly inside 75 yards. Flatter trajectory means less holdover guesswork when a squirrel gives you three seconds to decide.

The .22 Long Rifle is popular for good reasons: low recoil, a relatively quiet report, and affordability that lets you practice as much as you hunt. A 500 round box of Browning ammo means you can zero, practice from field positions, and still have plenty left for the season. Pair it with the rest of our ammunition lineup if you need centerfire loads for larger game.

Hunting Use, Zeroing, and Storage

Zero at the distance you actually shoot. Most small game is taken inside 50 yards, and a rifle zeroed there will hold well enough from 20 out to 60 with minimal thought. Shoot a box of Browning ammo confirming that zero and learning your holds, because a hollow point only performs if it lands where it should.

Semi automatic rifles generally cycle high velocity loads like this one without complaint, while bolt guns and single shots simply do not care. Whatever the action, keep the chamber clean, because rimfire fouling builds up faster than most shooters expect. A quick brush at the end of a hunt keeps everything running.

Store the box somewhere cool and dry, since rimfire priming dislikes humidity more than centerfire does. A sealed ammo can with a desiccant pack costs very little and protects a large quantity of Browning ammo. Kept that way, the box will outlast several hunting seasons without losing a step.

There is a reason experienced hunters keep a bulk box of hollow points on the shelf rather than buying fifty rounds at a time. Small game seasons are long, opportunities are unpredictable, and the last thing you want is to ration cartridges in the middle of a good week. A single purchase covers the whole year and then some.

Stock up before the season opens, learn the load, and let the rifle do what it was built for. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
