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

The 22 Magnum is a common choice for compact revolvers and lightweight pistols, and Federal designed Punch specifically to defend with them. This listing is Federal Premium Personal Defense Punch 22 WMR 45 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN PD22WMR1, sold as 1,000 rounds. A quantity this large lets you train with your defensive ammunition instead of only plinking with varmint loads.

Federal rates this load at 1,000 fps with 100 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 45 grain bullet is heavier than typical 22 WMR varmint bullets, which helps it penetrate, and the jacketed hollow point is designed to expand at the modest velocities you see from short barrels. Federal tuned Punch for handgun performance rather than long-range speed. Like any rimfire, a dud is possible, so practice clearing a misfire and keep shot placement as the priority.

This ammunition fits handguns and rifles chambered in 22 WMR, also called 22 Magnum, including the Ruger LCR 22 WMR and Single-Six with a Magnum cylinder, Smith and Wesson 351PD, Kel-Tec PMR-30, Taurus 942, Heritage Rough Rider with a 22 Magnum cylinder, and North American Arms mini revolvers. It also fires in 22 WMR rifles. A common question is whether 22 WMR is better than 22 LR for self defense. It carries more energy than 22 LR from the same barrel length, which is why many choose it for small revolvers. Another common question is whether this load can be fired from a rifle. Yes. It will shoot faster from a rifle barrel.

Federal PD22WMR1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. It uses rimfire priming in brass cases and cannot be reloaded. This listing ships as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for 1,000 rounds total from one lot, which covers years of carry rotation and regular practice with the same defensive round.
