Federal Power-Shok 222 Remington ammo pairs a 50-grain jacketed soft point with proven ballistics for varmint and predator hunting — 3140 feet per second muzzle velocity and 1095 foot-pounds of energy on exit. The 222 Remington cartridge bridges the gap between rimfire reach and centerfire authority, delivering flat trajectory and reliable expansion on foxes, coyotes, and groundhogs inside 200 yards without excessive pelt damage.
Built for the Box
Federal loads each case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive propellant, then seats the 50-grain JSP to consistent overall length. The jacketed soft point construction balances penetration and expansion — the copper jacket controls deformation on impact, while the exposed lead tip initiates expansion in tissue. Brass cases strip clean from the chamber and accept new primers for reloaders tracking lot consistency across seasons.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition.

- Follow the four rules of firearm safety at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, keep muzzle pointed in safe direction, finger off trigger until ready to fire, identify target and what lies beyond.
- Verify current state and local ammunition purchase laws in your jurisdiction before ordering — some localities restrict online ammunition sales or require permits.
- This ammunition contains lead. California Proposition 65 warning: lead exposure during handling or firing can cause reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
