Federal BYOB 22LR ammo ships in stackable 450-round containers designed for range shooters who need volume without sacrificing quality. Each 36-grain plated hollow point exits the muzzle at 1260 feet per second, delivering 127 foot-pounds of energy—enough authority for small game and varmint work inside 75 yards while keeping recoil impulse minimal for extended training sessions. The plated jacket reduces leading in the bore compared to exposed lead rounds, and the hollow point cavity offers modest expansion on soft tissue, making this a dual-purpose load for both the range and the field.
Built for the Box
Federal manufactures BYOB loads in the United States using standard-velocity priming and clean-burning powder. The 36-grain projectile seats in a brass-washed steel case with a rimfire primer pocket, cycling reliably in both bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic rimfire platforms. The plating process encapsulates the lead core, reducing fouling accumulation during high-volume shooting. Supersonic velocity keeps trajectory flat inside 50 yards—approximately 1.8 inches of drop at that distance when zeroed at 25 yards. The bulk container features a hinged lid that detaches completely or stays attached for controlled pouring into magazines or speed loaders.
