Remington Thunderbolt .22 Long Rifle 40 Grain Lead Round Nose – 500 Rounds (Box) TB-22B

Remington Thunderbolt ammo has been the default answer to the question of what to feed a .22 for about as long as anyone can remember, and this 500 round box is why. Forty grain lead round nose, high velocity, brass cased, and priced for the kind of shooting where you stop counting. It is the bulk rimfire that built a million good habits.

Why Remington Thunderbolt Ammo Belongs in Every .22 Owner’s Bag

The .22 Long Rifle is the cartridge people learn on, and volume is the entire point. Trigger control, sight alignment, and follow through are built through repetition, and repetition needs cheap ammunition in quantity. Five hundred rounds is a proper afternoon rather than a warm up.

This load is versatile enough to cover plinking, target shooting, and small game hunting from the same box, which is precisely what a .22 owner needs. New shooters benefit from the mild report and negligible recoil, and experienced shooters use it to keep skills sharp between centerfire sessions. Remington Thunderbolt ammo is the load a lot of people simply keep buying for life.

Features That Keep It in Production

• Smooth 40 grain lead round nose profile that feeds reliably in semi automatic rifles and pistols.
• Remington Thunderbolt ammo is loaded to high velocity for a flatter trajectory at rimfire distances.
• Clean burning propellants that reduce fouling and residue build up during long sessions.
• Non corrosive priming and quality brass casings for consistent ignition and long shelf life.
• 500 rounds per box, packaged by Remington for shooters who buy in bulk.

Remington Thunderbolt Ammo Specifications and What They Deliver

Caliber is .22 Long Rifle, bullet weight is 40 grains, bullet type is lead round nose, and the box holds 500 rounds. The 40 grain weight is the standard for the cartridge, which means point of impact will line up with most of what you have shot before. High velocity loading gives a slightly flatter trajectory than standard velocity ammunition at typical rimfire distances.

Reliable feeding is the quiet advantage of the round nose profile. Semi automatic .22s are notoriously particular, and a smooth ogive slides up a feed ramp where a sharp shouldered target bullet can hang. That is why Remington Thunderbolt ammo remains a staple for anyone running a semi auto rifle in volume.

Range Use, Small Game, and Storage

For plinking, set up steel and reactive targets and shoot until the box is empty. For target work, slow down and use the volume to learn what your rifle actually does at 50 yards. For small game, this load has been putting rabbits and squirrels in the pot for generations, and clean shot placement matters far more than any ballistic chart.

Bulk rimfire is also the cheapest instruction available. A parent teaching a first time shooter, a club running a youth day, or an experienced hand working on flinch control all benefit from the same thing: rounds fired without worrying about the tab.

Rimfire ammunition rewards a clean chamber and a reasonably clean bore. Lead bullets and a lot of rounds mean fouling accumulates faster than with jacketed centerfire, so brush the bore at the end of a heavy session. Accuracy usually improves after a few fouling shots, so do not chase groups with a wet barrel.

Store the box somewhere dry, because rimfire priming is more sensitive to moisture than centerfire. A sealed container with a desiccant pack in a closet is ideal, and a damp garage shelf is not. Kept properly, this ammunition will still be shooting well decades from now.

Buy Remington Thunderbolt ammo by the 500 round box, shoot it without ceremony, and enjoy the cartridge that keeps shooting affordable. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
