Federal Premium V-Shok 22 WMR ammo with 30-grain Speer TNT jacketed hollow points bridges the gap between plinking rimfire and serious varmint control. Each round launches at 2200 fps and delivers 322 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — enough to anchor prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes at ranges where .22 Long Rifle falls short. The Speer TNT bullet features a precision-drawn jacket fluted over ninety percent of its length, creating thin petals that peel back on impact and fragment the soft lead core for explosive terminal effect. Minimal bearing surface keeps barrel contact brief, preserving velocity and flattening trajectory. Non-corrosive primers and consistent powder charges deliver the reliability you expect from Federal Premium across temperature extremes and magazine-fed semi-autos.
Performance at a Glance
The 30-grain Speer TNT rides a long, pointed ogive that rivals heavier bullets in ballistic coefficient while maintaining the low recoil and light report 22 Magnum shooters prefer. At fifty yards, you retain nearly 1900 fps — well above the expansion threshold for the thin-jacket design. Federal Premium loads each round to SAAMI maximums, so expect consistent ignition in bolt guns, lever actions, and semi-auto platforms chambered for 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire.
