Fed Lightning 22lr 40gr Sld 50/5000

Federal Lightning 22LR 40 Grain ammunition delivers proven, cost-effective performance for rimfire training, target shooting, and competition. Built on Federal's legacy of consistent priming and quality brass, this 22 Long Rifle load generates 1,240 feet per second velocity—ideal for shooters who demand reliable accuracy without premium pricing on high-volume shooting days.

The 40-grain lead round-nose bullet is optimized for reduced velocity noise and minimal penetration at rimfire speeds, making it suitable for controlled range environments and training facilities. At 1,240 fps, this round generates predictable ballistics and mild report characteristics—critical when running high-round-count drills or conducting firearms instruction where shooter fatigue and noise management affect performance. Each 50-round box ships ready to load, with consistent cartridge dimensions and reliable ignition across standard and suppressed 22LR platforms alike.

This ammunition serves shooters conducting accuracy validation, marksmanship progression, and high-volume trigger control work. The 22 Long Rifle round is the standard for low-recoil firearms training, firearm familiarization courses, and recreational plinking where ammunition cost per round is a major budget factor. Federal Champion rimfire loads are engineered for function across a broad range of barrel lengths and action types, from precision match rifles to basic .22 trainers and small-caliber pistols.

Available in bulk 50-round boxes and case quantities, Federal Lightning 22LR ammunition provides shooters a practical balance between cost-per-round economics and ammunition reliability—key factors when conducting extended training cycles or maintaining proficiency at the fundamental firearms level.
