High Velocity .22 Caliber 55 Grain FMJBT Ammunition
The High Velocity .22 caliber ammunition with a 55 grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) bullet is crafted to meet the precise demands of both rifle and handgun enthusiasts. This round, designed to replicate the military M193 bullet, offers superior performance in semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15, M16, and Ruger Mini 14.
Featuring an exceptionally heavy full metal jacket with a strategically placed cannelure for crimping, this ammunition ensures positive feeding reliability. Its ballistic efficiency is evident through its impressive coefficients: .272 at velocities above 3000 feet per second (fps), tapering slightly to .245 between 3000 and 2400 fps, and further to .235 below that threshold. Such characteristics make it an excellent choice for those pursuing varmints or small game where pelts need preservation.
This cartridge's design allows it to be loaded at medium velocities in both rifles and handguns without sacrificing accuracy or causing undue damage. In handguns chambered for a centerfire .22 caliber round, this non-expanding bullet minimizes pelt damage effectively while maintaining meat integrity—ideal for trappers or pelt hunters seeking precision over brute force.
Introduced back in 1985 under the designation #1355, this ammunition continues to stand out due to its thoughtful engineering tailored towards specific shooting needs. Whether you are hunting small game or honing your skills on target practice with semi-automatic platforms, these cartridges deliver consistent results every time.
