22 LR – 40 gr LRN – Federal Champion (510) – 5000 Rounds

A full case of 22 LR is the most economical way to keep a family of shooters, a youth program, or a rimfire competitor supplied for a long time. This listing is Federal Champion Training 22 Long Rifle 40 grain lead round nose ammo, MPN 510, sold as 5,000 rounds for plinking, teaching new shooters, and rimfire practice.

Federal rates this load at 1,240 fps with 137 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, a high velocity loading that helps semi-automatic rifles and pistols cycle reliably. The 40 grain lead round nose is the classic 22 LR bullet, accurate enough for target work and steel plates at typical rimfire distances. A lead round nose does not expand much, so it is mainly a target and plinking round, though it is also widely used on small game where legal. Wash your hands after handling, as with any exposed lead bullet.

This ammunition fits rifles and handguns chambered in 22 Long Rifle, including the Ruger 10/22, Charger, and Mark IV, Marlin Model 60 and 795, Savage A22 and Mark II, CZ 457, Henry H001, Browning Buck Mark, Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22, Taurus TX22, Glock 44, and Ruger Wrangler and Single-Six revolvers. A common question is whether 22 LR is safe in a gun marked 22 WMR or 22 Magnum. No. It does not fit the chamber correctly and can split. Another common question is how many rounds 5,000 really is. At 100 rounds per range trip, it covers about 50 visits.

Federal 510 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. As a rimfire cartridge it is not reloadable, and it is non-corrosive. This case contains 100 boxes of 50 rounds for 5,000 total from one lot. The small boxes are easy to hand out to new shooters and keep in a range bag, and one lot keeps accuracy consistent across the whole case.
