22 WMR – 45 Gr JHP – Federal Personal Defense Punch (PD22WMR1) – 1000 Rounds

This 22 WMR load (PD22WMR1) gives home-defense shooters a compact rimfire option with controlled recoil and purpose-built performance. Federal loads it with a 45 grain Punch Jacketed Hollow Point bullet. That bullet uses a nickel-plated lead-core design. It aims for deeper penetration from short-barrel rimfire handguns. As a result, it avoids the shallow, fragile behavior common in many rimfire hollow points.

Federal lists this load at 1,000 fps and 100 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Those figures match the defensive role. This round does not try to mimic a centerfire pistol cartridge. Instead, it focuses on controllability, reliability, and penetration from small 22 WMR firearms. Therefore, it works well for recoil-sensitive shooters and compact rimfire defensive platforms.

The 45 grain bullet gives the load more mass than lighter 22 WMR varmint rounds. Meanwhile, the Punch design minimizes excessive expansion so the bullet can reach useful depth. That matters in a home-defense load. It needs to run cleanly, hit consistently, and perform with purpose.

Recoil stays extremely light. Consequently, shooters can control the firearm quickly and make accurate follow-up shots. In addition, the nickel-plated case improves corrosion resistance and supports smoother extraction. That helps defensive ammunition stay ready in stored magazines or cylinders.

Each box contains 50 rounds. Each case includes 20 boxes, totaling 1000 rounds. That quantity supports function testing, defensive rotation, practice, and reserve storage. Since this is rimfire ammunition, the cases are not reloadable. However, the bulk format gives serious value for training and preparedness.

This is a focused 22 WMR defensive load. It brings Federal Punch construction, low recoil, nickel-plated cases, and a deep 1000-round supply into one practical case.
