Fed Gmshk 22lr Hv 40gr Sld 50/5000

Federal GameShok 22LR High Velocity 40-grain ammunition delivers consistent, affordable performance for small game hunting and recreational rimfire shooting. Built on Federal's reputation for reliable ignition and precision manufacturing, this 22 Long Rifle load generates 1,240 feet per second—a velocity ceiling optimized for effective energy transfer on targets requiring moderate power without excessive penetration or noise.

Each round features a 40-grain copper-plated round nose projectile, a design choice that balances expansion characteristics with feeding reliability across semi-automatic and bolt-action platforms. The copper plating reduces bore fouling compared to bare lead, extending intervals between cleaning on weapons used for high-volume training or field work. This ammunition is packaged in 50-round boxes—the standard field unit for 22LR—making it straightforward to track consumption and inventory on the range or in the field.

This load is suited for shooters who prioritize cost-per-round without sacrificing functional reliability. Small game hunters, precision rifle shooters developing marksmanship on 22LR platforms, and operators conducting low-cost training cycles will find Federal GameShok performs consistently across hammer-fired and striker-fired .22LR rifles. The high-velocity specification ensures adequate terminal performance at typical small game ranges while maintaining minimal recoil, enabling rapid follow-up shots and extended practice sessions without fatigue.

22 Long Rifle remains the standard entry-level cartridge for firearms instruction and qualification courses. Federal's GameShok line occupies the value tier of that market—dependable ballistics at accessible pricing, making bulk purchase practical for clubs, training facilities, and serious enthusiasts who accumulate thousands of rounds annually.
